Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This is a mandatory safety order for owners of specific Cessna 185 aeroplanes (serial numbers 18504416 to 18504448). The safety issue: The manufacturer discovered that seat rails on these specific planes may have been installed incorrectly. This means the pilot's or passenger's seat might not lock properly into position and could slide forward or backward unexpectedly during flight—a serious hazard. What you must do: Follow the manufacturer's technical instructions (Service Bulletin 85-20) to inspect and fix the seat rail installation. When: Complete the work within 25 hours of flight time after the directive took effect.
