Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is an aviation safety rule (an Airworthiness Directive) that mandates a specific safety upgrade for Piper PA-11 (Cub) and J-3 series aircraft.

The requirement: Owners must modify the front seats by installing proper safety harnesses (seatbelts) according to a plan approved by the government.

Who it affects: Anyone who owns or operates these specific light aircraft models.

Why it exists: To protect pilots and front-seat passengers by replacing older, inadequate restraint systems with proper safety harnesses. Note that the compliance deadline was 1 September 1972—this is a historical directive that should already be complied with by any aircraft still in service.
