If they fail, pilots could lose control of the aircraft. This directive ensures a known safety issue is addressed before it causes an accident.\n\n**Key deadlines:**\n- The work had to be completed **within 100 hours of flight time** after **31 August 1972**.\n- If you already complied with an earlier version of this directive, you're covered — you don't need to do it again."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-36-4-amdt-2-control-wheel-adaptor","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-36-4-amdt-2-control-wheel-adaptor/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-36-4-amdt-2-control-wheel-adaptor/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-36-4-amdt-2-control-wheel-adaptor/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-36-4-amdt-2-control-wheel-adaptor/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-36-4-amdt-2-control-wheel-adaptor/documents"}}
