Partenavia

Applicability: VulcanAir aircraft (formerly Partenavia), all P68 variants from S/N 412 up to and including S/N 424 and S/N 429, 434 and 435. Aircraft S/N 418 is excluded.

Compliance: Within 30 days as of the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished. This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 8 February 2005. Background: The backrest recline of pilot, copilot and second row passenger seats requires the removal of a "quick release pin" not correctly indicated in the AFM and not readily detectable by the passengers. Moreover the operation to removal the device is difficult. This causes difficulty or disables access to the escape path from the cabin in case of an emergency evacuation.
