This rule ensures these parts are checked regularly to prevent structural failure during flight."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-36-8-forward-and-aft-wing-attachment-fittings-inspection-and-modification","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-36-8-forward-and-aft-wing-attachment-fittings-inspection-and-modification/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-36-8-forward-and-aft-wing-attachment-fittings-inspection-and-modification/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-36-8-forward-and-aft-wing-attachment-fittings-inspection-and-modification/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-36-8-forward-and-aft-wing-attachment-fittings-inspection-and-modification/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-36-8-forward-and-aft-wing-attachment-fittings-inspection-and-modification/documents"}}
