Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9048 · Pacific Scientific Company Appliances
Pacific Scientific Company Appliances
This AD applies to Pacific Scientific Company Lap Belt Assemblies, Restraint Systems.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Pacific Scientific lap belt assemblies and restraint systems, that requires removal of certain lap belt assemblies and restraint systems, and replacement with a differently designed assembly. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that, subsequent to an accident involving a transport category airplane, some passengers experienced difficulty in attempting to release the buckle on their lap belts. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the inability of passengers or crew to egress from their seats during an emergency situation, due to problems associated with the lap belt assembly.
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.
