Citabria aerobatic harness
My 1969 7KCAB is fitted with non-folding seats, and military aerobatic
harness front and rear. Recently I acquired a replacement folding seat to take the place of the existing fixed, one-piece model in the rear. I'm aware of AD 81-16-04 dated July 1981, which calls for a supplemental Acro Harness to be fitted in addition to the existing standard harness. Is the reason for the requirement for both standard and Acro harness being used together due to the Acro harness alone not providing forward impact protection -or is there more to it than that? The A.D. is unclear on whether it is applicable to aircraft with folding seats, fixed seats –or to both seat types. Can anyone shed further light on this AD requirement. Also, does the requirement to run shoulder straps on the front face of the seat back apply equally to fixed and folding seats? Finally, the replacement seat came complete with a Pacific Scientific five-point inertia-reel harness (the reel is marked ‘American Safety' ) Does this inertia reel harness qualify as acceptable equipment for an aerobatic aircraft? Thanks, Ed Wild |
