Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this rule does: Requires owners and operators of Cessna 337 aircraft (twin-engine planes with front-and-back propellers) to upgrade the front seatbelts to include full safety harnesses (shoulder straps), not just lap belts.

Who it affects: Anyone flying or maintaining Cessna 337 series aircraft in Australia.

What must be done: Install approved safety harnesses in both front seats following an official design approved by the Secretary (the senior government aviation official). You cannot use any random harness—it must meet specific safety standards.

Why it matters: This prevents pilots and front passengers from being thrown forward into the instrument panel or windshield during a crash or hard landing, significantly reducing the risk of serious injury or death.

Deadline: The modification had to be completed before 1 September 1972.
