WARNING! SIPQ* Alert!
It is no secret that the seats on 150/152 aircraft have a nasty history of unlatching and sliding all the way aft (generally on take-off). Those of us who have not had it happen in flight ourselves have at least heard the stories of it happening to others in the past.
How is it, given the age of the aircraft, that something official is only now being circulated in the form of an SB - I would have thought an AD would have been issued donkey's ago? Perhaps this is a little naive of me but if I’m honest I always 'assumed' that given the history the aircraft affected would have had something retrofitted years ago, not that this stops me slamming myself against the back of the seat before flight each time.
