This could cause pilots to miscalculate flight range and potentially run out of fuel. The directive ensures flight planning documents reflect the true usable fuel quantity.\n\n**What must be done**\n* Replace existing fuel quantity placards with corrected versions\n* Update pilot operating handbooks and weight and balance calculations\n* Complete this work within 100 hours of flight time after 31 August 1984"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-42-7-fuel-quantity-placards-replacement","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-42-7-fuel-quantity-placards-replacement/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-42-7-fuel-quantity-placards-replacement/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-42-7-fuel-quantity-placards-replacement/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-42-7-fuel-quantity-placards-replacement/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-42-7-fuel-quantity-placards-replacement/documents"}}
