This cancellation means the old requirements no longer apply, and operators must now follow the replacement directive to ensure the helicopter's tail stabiliser fins remain airworthy."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-118-amdt-1-upper-and-lower-fins-of-stabilisers-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-118-amdt-1-upper-and-lower-fins-of-stabilisers-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-118-amdt-1-upper-and-lower-fins-of-stabilisers-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-118-amdt-1-upper-and-lower-fins-of-stabilisers-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-118-amdt-1-upper-and-lower-fins-of-stabilisers-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-ecureuil-118-amdt-1-upper-and-lower-fins-of-stabilisers-cancelled/documents"}}
