Retrofit of Improved Seats in Air Carrier Transport Category Airplanes

摘要

This document announces a public meeting in which the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will discuss changes in and solicit comments and information from the public on the FAA's current draft rule to require the retrofit of improved seats in air carrier transport category airplanes. A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed requiring more crashworthy seats on most air carrier airplanes operating under parts 121 and 135 was published on May 17, 1988. The draft rule currently under consideration differs in some respects from the 1988 proposal. This document describes those differences and announces a 2-day public meeting at which the difference may be addressed and more current information and views obtained. This document also reopens the comment period.
