AD/CESSNA 320/4 - Safety Harness - Installation - CANCELLED

This instrument formally cancels an old 1968 safety rule that required shoulder harnesses (seatbelts with upper torso restraints) to be installed on the pilot and co-pilot seats of Cessna 320F aircraft.

What it does:

• Cancels Airworthiness Directive (AD) AD/CESSNA 320/4 effective 5 June 2008
• Removes a unique Australian-specific requirement that applied only to this specific aircraft model
• Confirms that the safety requirement is now covered by a general rule (AD/GENERAL/74 Amendment 1) instead

Who it affects:

• Owners and operators of Cessna 320F aeroplanes
• Maintenance organisations servicing these aircraft

Why it matters: This is regulatory housekeeping. The aircraft still need the safety harnesses, but owners now follow the consolidated general directive rather than this decades-old model-specific rule. This reduces red tape by eliminating redundant legislation.
