FAA Publishes Final Rule On Airline Seats

The FAA has published the final version of a new rule covering Part 121 seats.

According to the FAA, "This final rule amends the FAA's regulations on the crashworthiness of passenger and flight attendant seats on transport category airplanes used in part 121 passenger-carrying operations. This final rule requires those transport category airplanes type-certificated after January 1, 1958 which have not yet been manufactured that are used in part 121 passenger-carrying operations to have passenger and flight attendant seats that meet the current improved crashworthiness standards. This action is necessary because research, accident data, and analysis show that these improvements provide increased occupant protection in airplanes involved in impact-survivable accidents."

DATES: Effective on October 27, 2005. Transport category airplanes manufactured on and after October 27, 2009 used in part 121 passenger carrying operations must comply with this final rule.
