Summary
This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to PTC Seating Products Division, B/E Aerospace (PTC), formally known as PTC Aerospace, Model 950 series passenger seats with footrest assembly. This proposal would require the removal of the footrest assembly arms and the installation of a conversion kit on each PTC Model 950 series passenger seat equipped with footrest assembly. This proposal is prompted by two incidents of finger injuries that occurred during attempts to either extend or retract the footrest system on PTC Model 950 series passenger seats equipped with footrest assembly. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent injury to hands during the operation of a PTC Model 950 series passenger seat equipped with footrest assembly.
