Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive mandates specified inspections/modifications to Enviroform fibreglass/Kevlar reinforced seats, requiring work be done in accordance with Cessna MEB 87‑9, CAB 87‑16 or CQB 87‑5. It applies to all Enviroform seats and the listed Cessna models (and any aircraft fitted with those seats).

Owners/operators and maintenance organisations must complete the work within 100 hours TIS after 24 March 1988. The AD responds to retrofitting and subsequent Cessna seat modifications, shifting compliance cost and scheduling burden to operators.
