It has been replaced by a **broader, updated safety directive** (AD/GENERAL/74 Amendment 1) that applies to all aircraft types. If you own one of these planes, you no longer follow this specific rule, but must comply with the new general seat restraint requirements instead."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-14-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-14-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-14-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-14-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-14-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-14-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled/documents"}}
