## Discrepancy

FLIGHT CREW DISCREPANCY, PILOTS SEAT DOES NOT SLIDE BACK INTERMITTENTLY.  SEAT REMOVED AND VISUALLY INSPECTED.  REEL ASSEMBLY CABLE ADJUSTED AND SEAT FUNCTION TESTED WITH NO DEFECTS FOUND.  SEVERAL AIRCRAFT IN OUR FLEET OF CESSNA 100 SERIES AIRCRAFT HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR DISCREPANCIES, AND THE PASSENGER SEATED WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE CABIN.
