Special Conditions: Air Tractor Incorporated, Models AT-401, AT -402, AT-502, AT-602, and AT-802; Seats With Goodrich Aircraft Interior Products (AIP) Four-Point Inflatable Restraints

Résumé

This notice proposes special conditions for the following Air Tractor AT series airplanes; AT-401, AT-402, AT-502, AT-602, and AT- 802. These airplanes, as modified by Goodrich Aircraft Interior Products, will have novel and unusual design features associated with a four-point inflatable (airbag) restraint. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.
