## Summary

This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to certain Anjou Aeronautique (ANJOU) (formerly TRW Repa S.A., formerly L'AIGLON) safety belts and restraint systems that are installed in aircraft. This proposed AD would require you to inspect safety belts and restraint systems for defects and service life limits, and, if necessary, repair safety belts and restraint systems that have not reached service life limits; and replace safety belts and restraint systems that have reached service life limits. This proposed AD is the result of field reports of inadvertent unbuckling of the ANJOU seat belts and two safety recommendations to take AD action. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to detect and correct defective safety belts and restraint systems, which could result in failure of the safety belts and restraint systems. Such failure could lead to lack of occupant restraint during normal or crash loads.
