The exact installation method must follow a plan (scheme) that has been approved by the Secretary of the Department responsible for aviation safety.\n\n**Who it affects:** Anyone who owns or operates any model of Beechcraft 35 series aircraft.\n\n**Why it matters:** This ensures front-seat occupants are properly secured during flight, reducing injury risk in turbulence or accidents. The directive was mandatory before 1 September 1972, meaning these modifications should already be in place on affected aircraft.\n\n**In simple terms:** If you own a Beech Bonanza, you can't just use basic lap belts in the front seats—you need proper harnesses that have been signed off by the aviation safety regulator."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-35-31-front-seat-restraint-installations","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-35-31-front-seat-restraint-installations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-35-31-front-seat-restraint-installations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-35-31-front-seat-restraint-installations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-35-31-front-seat-restraint-installations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-35-31-front-seat-restraint-installations/documents"}}
