The manufacturer had recalled these parts because they did not meet safety specifications.\n\n**What this document does:** It simply cancels that 1984 rule. The unsafe parts have been out of circulation for decades, so the requirement is now obsolete. This cancellation tidies up the rulebook by removing a redundant requirement.\n\n**Who it affects:** Aircraft operators and maintenance organisations no longer need to comply with the original 1984 directive, though in practice these parts were already long removed from service."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-res-16-safety-harness-end-fittings-davis-aircraft-products-p-n-fd-1497m-removal-from-service-canc","history":"/api/acts/ad-res-16-safety-harness-end-fittings-davis-aircraft-products-p-n-fd-1497m-removal-from-service-canc/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-res-16-safety-harness-end-fittings-davis-aircraft-products-p-n-fd-1497m-removal-from-service-canc/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-res-16-safety-harness-end-fittings-davis-aircraft-products-p-n-fd-1497m-removal-from-service-canc/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-res-16-safety-harness-end-fittings-davis-aircraft-products-p-n-fd-1497m-removal-from-service-canc/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-res-16-safety-harness-end-fittings-davis-aircraft-products-p-n-fd-1497m-removal-from-service-canc/documents"}}
