This prevents unintended rudder inputs that could cause loss of control. You can satisfy this requirement by following Commerce International Drawing 01D-801-1 (an \"acceptable means of compliance\" means one approved way to meet the standard).\n\n**Compliance deadline:** Before 30 April 1964.\n\n**Why it matters:** Prevents accidents caused by pilots inadvertently contacting the wrong rudder pedal during flight operations."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-22-22-rudder-pedals-modification","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-22-22-rudder-pedals-modification/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-22-22-rudder-pedals-modification/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-22-22-rudder-pedals-modification/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-22-22-rudder-pedals-modification/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-22-22-rudder-pedals-modification/documents"}}
