Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767 Series Airplanes

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes. The proposal would require replacement of the existing retaining bolt of the attendant seat lap belt with a new bolt and a washer. This proposal is prompted by a report indicating that, due to a missing washer, the belt end fittings of the double flight attendant seats can become loose. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to ensure that a washer between the bolt head and bushing is installed. A missing washer could allow movement of the belt end fittings, which can cause the restraint belts to release and, consequently, result in injury to the flight attendants.
