This cancellation notice clarifies that the rule was replaced on 17 January 2008 by a newer, broader regulation (AD/GENERAL/74 Amendment 1) that covers multiple aircraft types. If you own one of these planes, you must now follow the replacement directive, not this cancelled one."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-5-front-seat-restraint-installations-cancelled/documents"}}
