Owners had to get a one-time inspection done at the next scheduled maintenance check after March 1991.\n\n**Why it's being cancelled:**\nThe repairs in question happened over 20 years ago. Enough time has passed that the safety risk is no longer a concern, making the rule obsolete.\n\n**What happens now:**\nEffective 17 January 2008, owners and operators of these aircraft no longer need to comply with this specific inspection requirement."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-188-43-aircraft-repair-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-188-43-aircraft-repair-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-188-43-aircraft-repair-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-188-43-aircraft-repair-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-188-43-aircraft-repair-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-188-43-aircraft-repair-cancelled/documents"}}
