This cancellation removes that ongoing inspection burden because the safety issue has been resolved (either through fleet modifications or improved data showing the risk no longer exists). This saves aircraft owners maintenance time and money while maintaining safety standards through other means."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pzl-2-aileron-attach-hinges-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-pzl-2-aileron-attach-hinges-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pzl-2-aileron-attach-hinges-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pzl-2-aileron-attach-hinges-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pzl-2-aileron-attach-hinges-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pzl-2-aileron-attach-hinges-cancelled/documents"}}
