Part 2 Requirements for all aeroplanes

Division 1 Requirements for cabin crew seats

3 Application — CASR 90.125 (1) (b)
       The standards set out in this Division apply for paragraph 90.125 (1) (b) of CASR 1998.

4 Cabin crew seats
       A cabin crew seat must:
(a) be located in the passenger cabin near prescribed floor level emergency exits; and
(b) to the extent possible, without compromising proximity to a required floor level emergency exit, provide a direct view of the cabin area for which the cabin crew member is individually responsible; and
(c) be facing forward or rearward, and have an energy absorbing rest that is designed to support the arms, shoulders, head, and spine of the occupant; and
(d) be designed and positioned so that when not in use it will not interfere with the use of passageways and exits; and
(e) be located to minimise the probability of the occupant suffering injury from being struck by any item that is likely to be used in, and capable of being dislodged from, a galley, stowage compartment or serving cart; and
(f) be equipped with a restraint system that:
           (i) consists of a combined safety belt and symmetric shoulder harness unit with a single point release; and
           (ii) is capable of being safely secured when not in use to prevent interference with rapid egress in an emergency; and
           (iii) is designed to the inertia load factors established under the certification basis of the aircraft.

5 Cabin crew seats — alternative standards
       5.1In spite of paragraph 4 (b), for an aeroplane with a certification basis before FAR 25.785 as in force on 6 March 1980, or equivalent, the cabin crew member seats need not be relocated to meet the requirement of paragraph 4 (b), if a mirror gives an indirect view of the cabin area to the relevant cabin crew member.
       5.2In spite of paragraph 4 (f), an aeroplane may continue to use a seat equipped with a serviceable combined safety belt and shoulder harness if the combined belt and harness were approved and installed on the aeroplane before 6 March 1980.
