This typically involves inspections or modifications to ensure the seats are safe.\n\n**Who it affects:** Anyone operating these specific aircraft models with the rear-facing seat configuration.\n\n**Compliance deadline:** The work had to be completed within 100 hours of flight time (**time in service**) after 30 July 1971.\n\n**Why it matters:** You cannot legally fly the aircraft until you comply with an AD. This rule addressed a specific safety defect with the rear-facing seats in these particular aircraft."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-11-aft-facing-seats","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-11-aft-facing-seats/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-11-aft-facing-seats/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-11-aft-facing-seats/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-11-aft-facing-seats/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-60-11-aft-facing-seats/documents"}}
