Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by the discovery that required labels (placards) prohibiting stowage of any object under an energy-absorbing seat had not been systematically installed. The FAA is issuing this AD to address any object stowed under an energy-absorbing seat which could reduce the efficiency of the energy-absorbing function of the seat, resulting in injury to the seat occupants during an accident.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2015-26-01, Amendment 39-18349 (80 FR 79466, December 22, 2015) (AD 2015-26-01).
