CA-28 Ceres aircraft (agricultural planes) had to install inertia reels on pilot shoulder harnesses. An inertia reel is a device that lets the harness strap extend and retract like a seatbelt, but locks up during sudden stops.\n\n**Why it's cancelled:** The deadline for making these changes was July 1968. By 2009, every affected aircraft had already been modified, so the rule served no further purpose.\n\n**Who this affects:** Owners and operators of C.A.C. CA-28 Ceres series aeroplanes. However, since all aircraft were modified decades ago, this cancellation simply removes an obsolete requirement from the books.\n\n**Key date:** The cancellation took effect on 9 April 2009."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-ceres-5-amdt-1-pilots-safety-harness-inertia-reel-installation-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-ceres-5-amdt-1-pilots-safety-harness-inertia-reel-installation-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-ceres-5-amdt-1-pilots-safety-harness-inertia-reel-installation-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-ceres-5-amdt-1-pilots-safety-harness-inertia-reel-installation-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-ceres-5-amdt-1-pilots-safety-harness-inertia-reel-installation-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-ceres-5-amdt-1-pilots-safety-harness-inertia-reel-installation-cancelled/documents"}}
