Mechanics had to check if a specific \"plastic inner cable\" was fitted, as this was identified as potentially unsafe.\n\n**Why it's being cancelled**\nAfter 31 years, the regulator assumes every affected aircraft has already been inspected. The unsafe condition no longer exists because any problematic cables would have been identified and replaced by now.\n\n**Who is affected**\nPilots, aircraft owners, and maintenance engineers who operate or service Cessna 210 aircraft. They no longer need to comply with this specific inspection requirement.\n\n**When it takes effect**\nThe cancellation applies from 10 April 2008."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-28-gear-warning-and-fuel-pump-switches-operating-cable-inspection-and-replacement-canc","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-28-gear-warning-and-fuel-pump-switches-operating-cable-inspection-and-replacement-canc/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-28-gear-warning-and-fuel-pump-switches-operating-cable-inspection-and-replacement-canc/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-28-gear-warning-and-fuel-pump-switches-operating-cable-inspection-and-replacement-canc/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-28-gear-warning-and-fuel-pump-switches-operating-cable-inspection-and-replacement-canc/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-28-gear-warning-and-fuel-pump-switches-operating-cable-inspection-and-replacement-canc/documents"}}
