This cancellation removes outdated or superseded requirements, likely because newer standards or design changes made the old limits unnecessary or inappropriate."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-sf340-17-amdt-3-airworthiness-limitations-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-sf340-17-amdt-3-airworthiness-limitations-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-sf340-17-amdt-3-airworthiness-limitations-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-sf340-17-amdt-3-airworthiness-limitations-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-sf340-17-amdt-3-airworthiness-limitations-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-sf340-17-amdt-3-airworthiness-limitations-cancelled/documents"}}
