Because the manufacturer now includes these checks in routine maintenance documentation, a separate mandatory directive is unnecessary.\n- **Practical effect**: This reduces regulatory burden while maintaining safety standards. The inspection requirement still exists but is now handled through normal maintenance processes rather than a special compliance directive issued by the safety regulator."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-15-tail-rotor-hub-assembly-inspection-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-15-tail-rotor-hub-assembly-inspection-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-15-tail-rotor-hub-assembly-inspection-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-15-tail-rotor-hub-assembly-inspection-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-15-tail-rotor-hub-assembly-inspection-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-15-tail-rotor-hub-assembly-inspection-cancelled/documents"}}
