Sicma Aero Seat (Formerly Farner); Cabin Attendant Seats Series 150 Type FN and Series 151 Type WN
This AD applies to Sicma Aero Seat (formerly Farner) cabin attendant seats series 150 type FN and 151 type WN, all part and serial numbers. These attendant seats are installed on, but not limited to, Airbus A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Sicma Aero Seat (formerly Farner) cabin attendant seats series 150 type FN and series 151 type WN. This AD requires installing two protection fairings over the upper seat structure to cover the gap between the upper and lower seats and prevent any contact with the bottom seat folding mechanisms. This AD results from a child catching its fingers in the folding mechanism of the bottom of the attendant seat. We are issuing this AD to prevent injury resulting from contact with the bottom folding mechanism.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified unless the actions have already been done.
Within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, install two protective fairings, part number (P/N) 160100-49, on each affected cabin attendant seat. Use the instructions in paragraph 2 of Sicma Aero Seat Service Bulletin 150-25-036, Issue 1, dated February 10, 1999, and Sicma Aero Seat Service Bulletin 151-25-037, Issue 1, dated February 10, 1999.
(g) After installing the fairings, add or complete a modification placard, part number (P/N) 00-5179, indicating that the service bulletin has been completed. Use the instructions in paragraph 3 of Sicma Aero Seat Service Bulletin 150-25-036, Issue 1, dated February 10, 1999, and Sicma Aero Seat Service Bulletin 151-25-037, Issue 1, dated February 10, 1999.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
