Inspect all seat belts to determine if they have been manufactured by the EON Corporation under TSO C22. These are to include all seat belts supplied under an airframe manufacturers part number.\n\n    2. If the seat belt assembly is an EON Corporation seat belt assembly, determine if an E8000 buckle is fitted. If an E8000 buckle is fitted remove the seat belt assembly and replace with another item approved in accordance with ANO 108.42.\n\n    3. The seat belts removed in compliance with this Directive are to be destroyed or have the TSO markings removed or totally obliterated.\n\nCompliance: Prior to the issue of the next Maintenance Release after 31 July 1987.\n\nBackground: The original issue of this Directive was raised as the result of the failure of an E8000 buckle assy to release after an accident. However, the Directive targeted safety harness model No. E2900-15 fitted with an EON E8000 buckle. This Amendment follows a recent accident, where an E8000 released under deceleration loads, and the issue of AD/RES/20 concerning model E6000 buckles which also released under deceleration loads.","sortOrder":0}],"analysis":{"kimi_summary":{"_metrics":{"model":"kimi-k2.5","source":"moonshot-batch","completionTokens":2301},"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"The original directive only targeted safety harness model E2900-15 fitted with E8000 buckles.
