The safety belts require no service other than inspection at normal inspection interval of 300 hours or every 12 months. c. Perform a detailed visual inspection of each bottom and back cushion and cover to detect apparent or obvious defects, deterioration in the form of wear, tears, rips, punctures or irregularities that cause the cushion assembly to become worn or distorted. Replace the cushion assembly if this cover does not fit properly or the cushion develops a “lumpy” or irregular feel. d. Perform a detailed visual inspection of each divan frame assembly including weld joints, diaphragm, fasteners and anchors, track fittings, seat belt and inertia reel assemblies to detect apparent or obvious defects, corrosion, cracks, large deformations (permanent deformation in frame tubes more than ¼ the overall thickness of the tube diameter), irregularities that cause the frame assembly and/or anchor/fitting to become distorted and not fit into the intended seat track/anchor locations. If deformities are found the divan frame assembly must be removed from the aircraft and returned to Aviation Fabricators for repair or replacement. Aviation Fabricators Inc.
