AD/RES/5 Amdt 1 - Inertia Reels - AN-R-29 - Replacement - CANCELLED

What this does: This document officially cancels an old aircraft safety rule (Airworthiness Directive RES/5) that was issued back in 1967.

Who it affects: Aircraft operators and maintenance organisations who were still technically required to comply with the old rule.

Why it matters: The original rule forced aircraft owners to replace old seatbelt inertia reels (model AN-R-29) with newer, safer ones before September 1968. Now, over 40 years later, aviation safety regulators have decided this rule is obsolete because all the unsafe reels have presumably been replaced or the aircraft retired. This cancellation removes a redundant compliance burden.

Key takeaway: If you were still worrying about AN-R-29 inertia reels, you can stop now.
