This prevents the aircraft from continuing on an unintended flight path if the automated system fails."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-9-automatic-pilot-shutoff-valves-installation","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-9-automatic-pilot-shutoff-valves-installation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-9-automatic-pilot-shutoff-valves-installation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-9-automatic-pilot-shutoff-valves-installation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-9-automatic-pilot-shutoff-valves-installation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-65-9-automatic-pilot-shutoff-valves-installation/documents"}}
