surfaces.

Flight compartments
The structural integrity of the webbing on this aircraft is critical for safe operation. All of the webbing
should be inspected for signs of wear, fraying, cuts, or other mechanical damages, as well as any
significant UV damage that may have occurred.
NOTE
It is preferable to store the aircraft away from direct sunlight.

Seats
The seat structure consists of a seat frame assembly, which is attached to the mast block, and through
two steel welded lugs onto the base tube. The Seats themselves structurally consist of webbing which
is attached to the seat frame, The padding and other areas of the seats are non structural components
25.10.20
Occupant Restraint Systems
Both the pilot and passenger seats are fitted with both lap and shoulder belts. Both of these should be
periodically checked for wear and correct operation. In particular the stitching, webbing, and all
attachments. Any worn or damaged belts or fittings should be replaced, this includes belts that have
been subject to extreme loads during a heavy landing. It should be noted that in order to inspect the
seatbelts they need to be pulled out as far as possible from their reels.
Check the shoulder harness inertia reel for corrosion, moisture and debris. Check that the belt retracts
readily and locks when pulled suddenly. Check the lap belt connector for proper operation, engagement
and release.
Airborne should be contacted for spare parts.
