Summary: 

The following is a notification of ref /A/ Notice of Proposed RuleK'.a'King (NPR14> . The FAA

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: Cracks have 

been found on seats [with] backrest links P/N {part number) 9C-000200-104-1 and 90-000200-

104-2. These cracks can significantly affect the structural integrity of seat backrests.

landing conditions. The proposed AD would require actions that are intended i:o address the
