PRODUCT: Certain B/E Aerospace Fischer GmbH Attendant Seats NG and Pilot Seats 120/335.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

SUMMARY:  This AD requires removing and replacing the energy absorber (EA) assemblies on affected pilot seats and the removing and replacing affected attendant seats.

  • Replace EA assembly: Labor - $170. Parts - $20,000. Total cost per seat $20,170
  • Remove and replace attendant seat: Labor - $170. Parts - $10,000. Total cost per seat $10,170.
