Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a safety directive requiring inspection (and potential modification) of rear-facing passenger seats on specific Cessna 500 Citation aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of early-model Cessna 500 jets with serial numbers 500-0001 through 500-0222 that still have original rear-facing passenger seats. Specifically, it applies to aircraft that have not already been modified according to Cessna Service Bulletin 25-16 issued on 26 February 1975.

What must be done: Operators must complete the inspection procedure outlined in Cessna Alert Service Bulletin SBA 25-16 within 25 flight hours after 25 February 1975.

Why it matters: This addresses a specific structural safety defect in the seat mounting of early Cessna Citation jets. The directive ensures the seats won't fail during flight, protecting passengers sitting in the rear-facing configuration.
