AD/PA-22/25 - Front Seat Restraint Installations - Modification - CANCELLED

This document cancels a specific aircraft safety rule that has been in place since 1971. The original rule required owners of Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer and Colt aircraft to install upper torso restraints (shoulder harnesses) for front seat passengers.

What this does:

• Cancels the previous airworthiness directive effective 17 January 2008
• Removes the specific compliance requirement for these aircraft under this document
• Transfers the safety obligation to a general directive (AD/GENERAL/74 Amendment 1) that covers restraint requirements across multiple aircraft types

Who it affects: Owners, operators, and maintenance engineers of Piper PA-22 series aircraft.

Why it matters: Instead of following this specific rule, aircraft owners now comply with the broader general directive. This streamlines regulations by consolidating similar requirements into one document rather than having separate rules for each aircraft model.
