However, this cancellation is largely administrative because all affected aircraft in Australia were already required to comply with the original safety order before September 1971.\n\n**Why it matters:** The original safety directive was issued back in 1964 to fix a potentially dangerous defect. Since every affected plane was fixed over 36 years ago, the unsafe condition no longer exists. This cancellation cleans up the rulebook by removing a redundant requirement that no longer serves any safety purpose."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-23-6-rudder-pedal-position-gear-cancelled/documents"}}
