This work was required every time a **Maintenance Release** (the legal document that allows an aircraft to fly) was issued. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has now decided this mandatory inspection is no longer justified, removing this specific regulatory requirement from 24 September 2009 onwards."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-310-32-amdt-3-lower-wing-skin-rivets-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-310-32-amdt-3-lower-wing-skin-rivets-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-310-32-amdt-3-lower-wing-skin-rivets-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-310-32-amdt-3-lower-wing-skin-rivets-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-310-32-amdt-3-lower-wing-skin-rivets-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-310-32-amdt-3-lower-wing-skin-rivets-cancelled/documents"}}
