What this law does

This airworthiness directive mandates that owners and operators of specific light aircraft must upgrade their seat belts to proper safety harnesses (secure restraint systems) in every seat.

Who it affects

Anyone who owns or operates any model of American Champion, Aeronca, or Bellanca series aeroplanes.

What you need to do

You must modify the existing seat restraint installations to fit safety harnesses. The installation must follow a plan (called a "scheme") approved by the Secretary of the aviation department.

For guidance on how to design this installation, see Airworthiness Advisory Circular No. 62 (March 1972).

Deadline

The modifications had to be completed before 1 October 1973.

Important change

This amendment changed the title from "Front Seat..." to "Safety Restraint Installations," clarifying that the rule applies to all seats in the aircraft, not just the front ones.
