This directive prevents that dangerous failure from happening again. The Australian regulator (CASA) gave operators **two extra months** beyond what the American FAA required to get the work done.\n\n**Who must comply:**\nAnyone operating BAe-146 aircraft with these specific slide models, identified by part numbers D31005 and D30543 with certain serial numbers.\n\n**Deadline:**\nBefore 2 July 1992."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-emy-25-emergency-evacuation-slide","history":"/api/acts/ad-emy-25-emergency-evacuation-slide/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-emy-25-emergency-evacuation-slide/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-emy-25-emergency-evacuation-slide/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-emy-25-emergency-evacuation-slide/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-emy-25-emergency-evacuation-slide/documents"}}
