This must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after the directive's effective date.\n\n**Why this matters**\nThe throttle linkage controls engine power. A faulty bolt could cause the throttle mechanism to fail, potentially leading to loss of engine control and creating a serious flight safety risk."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-44-throttle-linkage-bolt-replacement","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-44-throttle-linkage-bolt-replacement/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-44-throttle-linkage-bolt-replacement/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-44-throttle-linkage-bolt-replacement/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-44-throttle-linkage-bolt-replacement/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-44-throttle-linkage-bolt-replacement/documents"}}
