This particular directive (AD/ELECT/29) related to **electrical equipment** on aircraft.\n\n**What happened to it:** The directive has been **superseded** (replaced) by a newer directive, AD/ELECT/33. This means the requirements in AD/ELECT/29 are no longer in force, and anyone who previously had to comply with this directive must now follow the replacement directive instead.\n\n**Who it affects:** Aircraft operators, owners, and maintenance engineers who were subject to the original electrical equipment requirements.\n\n**Why it matters:** While this specific version is no longer active, it forms part of the historical safety record for Australian aviation. The supersession indicates that safety standards have been updated—either because better solutions were found, the original equipment is no longer in service, or the safety requirements needed strengthening."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-elect-29-superseded","history":"/api/acts/ad-elect-29-superseded/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-elect-29-superseded/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-elect-29-superseded/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-elect-29-superseded/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-elect-29-superseded/documents"}}
