Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this means: If you own or operate a Piaggio P166 aircraft, you must upgrade the front seat belts to proper safety harnesses (shoulder straps) to better protect pilots and front-seat passengers during accidents or hard landings.

Who it affects: All operators of Piaggio P166 series aeroplanes, regardless of model variant.

What you must do:

Install safety harnesses in each front seat, modifying the existing restraint installation
Use an installation plan (scheme) that has been approved by the Secretary (the senior government official responsible for aviation safety at the time)
Complete the work before 1 December 1973

Helpful guidance: While not mandatory to follow, Airworthiness Advisory Circular No. 62 (March 1972) provides technical guidelines for designing your installation scheme.

This is a one-off safety modification with a strict deadline—essentially a recall notice for aircraft seatbelts.
