MODIFICATION CLASSIFICATION MAJOR None MINOR None NOTE: As per EASA IR 21, a minor change is one that has no appreciable effect on the mass, balance, structural strength, reliability, operational characteristics affecting the airworthiness of the product. All other changes are major changes.
CONF ALL B. REASON
(1) History During an aircraft delivery, passenger seats, Dragonfly type, supplied by Safran Seats France, have been found with their seat track cover distorted on FWD and AFT seat fixation area. The root-cause has being identified being an incorrect installation of the passenger seats into the seat track. Potential deformation induced by inadequate seat installation can lead to a high pre-load in the front leg of the seats and it can be assumed that with this pre-load the additional load due to emergency landing cannot be withstood.
(2) Objective/Action This Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of A320 aircraft of the issue of Ref. SAFRAN SEATS FRANCE (F0465) VSB 31-25-097 which details the inspection of installed Safran Dragonfly passenger seats and, if damaged, to replace affected seat track covers.
This Service Bulletin also provides instructions to replace the affected seats in case of wrong installation.
(3) Advantages Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will ensure to address this potential unsafe condition.
