Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document officially cancels an old aviation safety rule about passenger seats. It scraps Airworthiness Directive (AD) SEATS/3, which was issued back in 1988. That old rule required airlines to modify the lap belt attachments on certain Sicma-brand passenger seats after a turbulence incident on an Australian flight.

Why it matters: The original deadline for fixing those seats was November 1988—twenty years ago. By now, all affected seats have either been modified or retired from service, so the safety rule is no longer needed. This cancellation simply removes the obsolete requirement from the books.
