This directive prevents accidents by ensuring worn components are identified before they affect flight safety.\n\nThe specific inspection procedures are detailed in Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 0846-152, Revision 2."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-95-23-control-surface-trim-tab-systems","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-95-23-control-surface-trim-tab-systems/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-95-23-control-surface-trim-tab-systems/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-95-23-control-surface-trim-tab-systems/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-95-23-control-surface-trim-tab-systems/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-95-23-control-surface-trim-tab-systems/documents"}}
