Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Australia’s aviation regulator (CASA) has issued a mandatory Airworthiness Directive requiring operators of Boeing 767-200/300 aircraft to inspect flight attendant and observer shoulder restraint harnesses to confirm secure attachment to their mounting brackets. Prompted by FAA reports of C-clip failures on similar aircraft, the checks (per the FAA AD and Boeing Service Bulletin) aim to prevent harness detachment and crew injuries; the directive takes effect 25 December 2003.
