This requirement only applied to planes certified before 1967, which were originally built without modern seatbelt safety standards.\n\n**What changed:**\nOn 17 January 2008, this specific directive was cancelled and replaced by a general directive (**AD/GENERAL/74 Amendment 1**) that covers all aircraft types. Instead of maintaining separate rules for every individual aircraft model, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) consolidated the seatbelt requirements into one overarching safety standard.\n\n**Who is affected:**\nOwners and operators of Beechcraft 56TC series aeroplanes. The safety requirement itself has not disappeared—it has simply moved to a different, more general regulation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-56-10-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-56-10-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-56-10-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-56-10-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-56-10-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-56-10-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/documents"}}
