Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a safety directive (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority requiring urgent fixes to seat belts on specific Cessna aircraft.

What it requires:

Owners or operators of Cessna 150, F150, 152 and F152 aircraft with serial numbers between 15059019 and 15060772 must inspect and modify their seat belt attachments.
The work must follow either Cessna Service Letter No. 64-58 (Item 2) or Rex Aviation Technical Manual TM-1 (external manufacturer instructions).
Deadline: "Forthwith" — meaning immediately, before the next flight.

Why it matters: This addresses a known safety defect where seat belt attachments could fail during an accident. The directive is legally binding; flying these aircraft without completing this modification violates civil aviation regulations.
