Replacing Cessna seatbelts - GA
One of the results of Part M is that our seatbelts need replacing. As Cessna give a ten year life to the seatbelts and the seatbelts in our aircraft are original (35 years old) they have to be changed before our maintenance organisation will issue an ARC.
Has anyone come across this and is there a cheaper way of complying without replacing with new.
The belts are standard static ones with a shoulder strap on both front seats.
If the seatbelts are re-webbed, who could check them and issue a EASA Form 1 so they can be used.
The companies who do the re-webbing don't issue 8130's, only a Certificate of Conformity and new TSO tags for a further 10 years.
