Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by the absence of instructions on the information placards located next to the rear-facing seats to lock the seat headrest in the highest position during take-off and landing. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent the incorrect position of the seat headrest during take-off and landing. The unsafe condition, if not corrected, could result in injury to helicopter occupants during an emergency landing.
Affected ADs
None.
