Owners had until 1 January 1974 to comply.\n\n**What this document does:**\nIt formally **cancels** that old directive as of 20 December 2007. The requirement is now considered obsolete, likely because the compliance deadline passed decades ago or the aircraft have been retired or upgraded. If you own one of these planes, this specific directive no longer applies to you, though other general aviation safety rules about seatbelts remain in force."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-18-amdt-1-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-18-amdt-1-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-18-amdt-1-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-18-amdt-1-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-18-amdt-1-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-18-amdt-1-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/documents"}}
