Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of Cessna T337G aircraft to modify the centre bench backrest lock so an occupant can push it forward with moderate force and to install a clearly legible emergency placard on the rear of the right-hand backrest instructing occupants to push the centre seat backrests forward.

Compliance is mandatory before issuance or renewal of the Certificate of Airworthiness to ensure rear-seat occupants can manually escape if normal release mechanisms fail.
