By 2008, all affected aircraft would have already been modified, making the old rule unnecessary. This cancellation removes redundant paperwork and compliance obligations for aircraft owners, maintenance organisations, and pilots."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-23-32-amdt-2-cabin-door-latch-modification-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-23-32-amdt-2-cabin-door-latch-modification-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-23-32-amdt-2-cabin-door-latch-modification-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-23-32-amdt-2-cabin-door-latch-modification-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-23-32-amdt-2-cabin-door-latch-modification-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-23-32-amdt-2-cabin-door-latch-modification-cancelled/documents"}}
