This swap must be completed by 1 September 1971.\n\n**Why it matters:** The rudder pedals control the aircraft's steering on the ground and in the air. This directive addresses a safety defect in the original nylon component—likely concerns about the material breaking or wearing out—by mandating a stronger aluminium replacement to prevent potential loss of directional control."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear/documents"}}
