Unsafe Condition
Failure of the seat restraint system due to the buckle assembly locking mechanism not engaging properly, which could result in the seat restraint system failing to properly secure the occupant during turbulence or landing.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Visually check all affected seat restraint systems to determine if the locking mechanism is engaging properly. If the locking mechanism does not seat properly, replace the buckle with an airworthy buckle. The requirements may be performed by an owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a private pilot certificate and must be entered into the aircraft records.
