Summary
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Sicma Aero Seat (formerly Farner) cabin attendant seat series 150 type FN and series 151 type WN. This proposed AD would require installing two protection fairings over the upper seat structure to cover the gap between the upper and lower seats and prevent any contact with the bottom seat folding mechanisms. This proposed AD results from a child catching its fingers in the folding mechanism of the bottom of the attendant seat. We are proposing this AD to prevent injury resulting from contact with the bottom folding mechanism.
