Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document cancels an old airworthiness directive (safety rule) originally issued in 1962 for specific Cessna and Wren aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Cessna 180, 182, and Wren 460 series aeroplanes.

What was the old rule? The cancelled directive required these aircraft to be modified so the pilot's safety harness included shoulder straps attached through an inertia reel—a device that lets the pilot move freely but locks tight during sudden stops or crashes.

Why cancel it? These safety requirements are now covered by a newer, general directive (AD/GENERAL/74 Amendment 1) that applies to all relevant aircraft types. This makes the 1962 specific rule redundant.

When it takes effect: The cancellation takes effect on 3 July 2008.
