The obligation to have proper seat restraints hasn't disappeared—it's just been moved into a general airworthiness directive (AD/GENERAL/74) that covers multiple aircraft types rather than listing every single plane model separately. This streamlines the rules so you don't need to check both a general standard and a specific Cessna 205 standard for the same safety equipment."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-9-front-seat-restraint-installation-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-9-front-seat-restraint-installation-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-9-front-seat-restraint-installation-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-9-front-seat-restraint-installation-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-9-front-seat-restraint-installation-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-9-front-seat-restraint-installation-cancelled/documents"}}
