Beachbum 0 #2 September 8, 2003 interesting stuff ... and it looks simple enough for a rigger to make the belt changes to aircraft ... no need for highly expensive mods?? Maybe it's just where I've been, but it seems most of the larger planes I've been on have bench seats such that you have your back to the exterior of the plane ... are there tests that you know of on that seating arrangement?As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

Hooknswoop 19 #3 September 8, 2003 Quote and it looks simple enough for a rigger to make the belt changes to aircraft Depending on the set-up, it may only involve moving where the seat belts attach in the 'tracks' on the floor. Seat belts have to be certified, and have a TSO tag on them, so a rigger couldn't legally manufacture them. Quote are there tests that you know of on that seating arrangement This is the only one I've seen. I ran across it a long time ago, then again recently.

I guess this is >where they came up with that. cool It should be noted that arrangement (a connection to one side) was one of the schemes they did not recommend: ------------------ The single strap over the lap methods,5L and 6L,while desirable due to their simplicity of use,did not provide the level of restraint offered by the dual strap methods. ----------------- Definitely better than nothing though.

mjosparky 4 #7 September 9, 2003 Any work done on seat belt or anything else in or on anairplane has to be done by an A&P. Riggers work on parachutes. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similar to an A & P has to pack the drogue chutes on Lear jets, not a rigger. Of course it makes sense to have a rigger pack it and an A & P supervise and sign it off.
