Airworthiness Directives; Pacific Scientific Company, HTL/KIN- TECH Division, Lap Belt Assemblies and Restraint Systems

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Pacific Scientific lap belt assemblies and restraint systems, that requires removal of certain lap belt assemblies and restraint systems, and replacement with a differently designed assembly. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that, subsequent to an accident involving a transport category airplane, some passengers experienced difficulty in attempting to release the buckle on their lap belts. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the inability of passengers or crew to egress from their seats during an emergency situation, due to problems associated with the lap belt assembly.
