This is mandatory and not optional.\n\n**Why it matters:** This is a safety order issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to prevent potential engine failure or other hazards that could arise from carburettor defects in these specific engines. Non-compliance would breach aviation safety regulations and could ground the aircraft."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-dhe-17-carburettor-inspection","history":"/api/acts/ad-dhe-17-carburettor-inspection/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-dhe-17-carburettor-inspection/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-dhe-17-carburettor-inspection/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-dhe-17-carburettor-inspection/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-dhe-17-carburettor-inspection/documents"}}
