AD NUMBER:        2008-05-09
MANUFACTURER:    Cessna
SUBJECT:        Airworthiness Directive 2008-05-09
SUMMARY:        The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft Company(Cessna) 172, 182, and 206 series airplanes. This AD requires you to remove the crew seats,modify the seat base/back attach brackets, and reinstall the seats of the affected airplanes. ThisAD results from reports of the seat base/back attach bracket failing where it is welded to the seatbase. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the seat base/back attach brackets, which couldresult in the seats collapsing backwards during flight with consequent loss of control.
