Without working emergency exit lights, passengers and crew could struggle to find exits during an emergency evacuation, especially in smoke or darkness.\n\n**Deadline:** The work had to be completed **before 28 February 1985**.\n\n**US connection:** The directive references an American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety order (AD 83-24-02), showing this was a known international safety issue, not just an Australian concern."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-amd-10-17-emergency-exit-lights-modification","history":"/api/acts/ad-amd-10-17-emergency-exit-lights-modification/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-amd-10-17-emergency-exit-lights-modification/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-amd-10-17-emergency-exit-lights-modification/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-amd-10-17-emergency-exit-lights-modification/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-amd-10-17-emergency-exit-lights-modification/documents"}}
