If the adjuster assemblies fail or malfunction, pilots could lose proper control of the aircraft during critical phases like takeoff or landing.\n\n**Current status:**\nThe directive's contents have been **removed from the active listing** because no BAe 125 aircraft are currently registered in Australia. This is a housekeeping measure — the AD still exists in the records but isn't actively enforced since there are no affected aircraft to inspect."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"The AD originally targeted British Aerospace BAe 125 series aeroplanes and required inspection and modification of rudder pedal adjuster assemblies (per the AD title).
