This system measures airspeed and altitude, and water getting in could cause dangerous instrument errors.\n\n**Why it was cancelled:** The modification had to be done within 100 flight hours after July 1970. Because that deadline passed nearly 40 years ago, every affected aircraft has long since been modified. The rule is now redundant.\n\n**What this means now:** This directive has no legal force. If you own a Fuji FA-200, you do not need to comply with this specific requirement—it was cancelled effective 2 July 2009."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-8-pitot-static-water-drain-access-modification-cancelled/documents"}}
