Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This mandatory Airworthiness Directive applies to owners/operators of 1971–1973 Cessna 182s (S/N 18260446 and up). It requires inspecting and repairing rear seat attachments per Cessna Service Letter SE73‑4 within 100 hours’ time-in-service after 31 May 1973.

It matters because unsecured rear seats can injure occupants or foul controls in turbulence or hard landings, so the AD forces corrective action to keep the seats properly bolted to the floor.
