Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: A mandatory safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority under aviation law.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Aerostar 600 and 700 series aircraft with airframe numbers below 0266.

What it requires: You must inspect and modify the seat track retaining clips — the small metal fittings that lock seats to the floor rails — to prevent them from failing.

How to comply: Follow the manufacturer's Service Bulletin SB600-69 for the technical steps. Important extra rule: You must keep inspecting passenger seats repeatedly until they are actually modified (not just the pilot seats).

Why it matters: Broken seat clips can cause seats to rip out of the floor during turbulence or a hard landing, which could kill or seriously injure occupants.
