This was a unique Australian requirement not based on manufacturer service bulletins. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority has now determined the inspection is no longer necessary for safety, reducing maintenance burdens for aircraft owners."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-44-flap-actuator-attachment-brackets-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-44-flap-actuator-attachment-brackets-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-44-flap-actuator-attachment-brackets-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-44-flap-actuator-attachment-brackets-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-44-flap-actuator-attachment-brackets-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-44-flap-actuator-attachment-brackets-cancelled/documents"}}
