This particular directive (first issued in 1972) required owners to inspect the fuel pressure regulator fitting — specifically a T-piece — to make sure the threaded sections were long enough. Short threads could potentially cause fuel leaks.\n\n**What changed:** The directive is now **completely cancelled**. The inspection requirement no longer applies to any aircraft.\n\n**Why:** The rule had been in place for 36 years. Authorities determined that every affected aircraft should have been inspected and repaired by now, meaning the unsafe condition no longer exists in the fleet.\n\n**Who this affects:** Owners and operators of Cessna 340 series aeroplanes. No action is required, as the mandate has been revoked."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-340-1-fuel-pressure-regulator-fitting-inspection-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-340-1-fuel-pressure-regulator-fitting-inspection-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-340-1-fuel-pressure-regulator-fitting-inspection-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-340-1-fuel-pressure-regulator-fitting-inspection-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-340-1-fuel-pressure-regulator-fitting-inspection-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-340-1-fuel-pressure-regulator-fitting-inspection-cancelled/documents"}}
