If this chain fails or malfunctions, the pilot could lose proper directional control, creating a serious flight safety risk."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-19-rudder-trim-chain","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-19-rudder-trim-chain/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-19-rudder-trim-chain/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-19-rudder-trim-chain/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-19-rudder-trim-chain/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-19-rudder-trim-chain/documents"}}
