This manufacturer document provides the technical steps mechanics must follow.\n\n**When to comply:**\n\nIf not already done, the work must be completed before the aircraft's next **Maintenance Release** (a mandatory safety certificate issued after regular inspections) after 30 September 1986.\n\n**Why this matters:**\n\nThe spacers ensure the seat belt anchorage complies with the aircraft's certified type design. Without this modification, the seat belts might not protect passengers correctly during turbulence or an accident."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-45-passenger-seat-belt-fitting-spacer","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-45-passenger-seat-belt-fitting-spacer/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-45-passenger-seat-belt-fitting-spacer/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-45-passenger-seat-belt-fitting-spacer/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-45-passenger-seat-belt-fitting-spacer/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-206-45-passenger-seat-belt-fitting-spacer/documents"}}
