SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Koi

Industries. Ltd., seats and seating systems approved under TSO-C39b, TSO-C39c, or

TSO-C127a. This proposed AD is intended to mitigate potential safety concern and

possible non-compliance with specific FAA regulations. The AD would require

determination to assess if affected seats and seating systems are compliant with specifi

FAA regulations, and removing those non-coJpliant seats and compo~ents from the

affected fleet. This proposed AD results from J determination that the affected seats an

seating systems may not meet certain flammability and strength criteria. Failure to meet ~~,uu~

strength criteria could result in injuries to the flightcrew and passengers during

emergency landing conditions. In the event of an in-flight or post-emergency landing fi

failure to meet flammability criteria could result in an accelerated propagation of fire.

are proposing this AD to prevent accelerated Jes and injuries to the flightcrew and

passengers.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by [INSERT DATE 45 ,
