Buckle Up *Can you survive a sudden stop?*
T	here were 9,851 fatalities and/or serious injury general aviation accidents between
1983 and the summer of 1995. Final NTSB reports list 6,051 of those accidents with no shoulder harnesses installed or no shoulder harness used. We have to wear safety belts in our cars. They are a nuisance yet there

is no doubt they have saved lives. We wear safety restraints in airplanes for the same reason.

Aircraft manufacturers have been obliged to install shoulder harnesses since 1978. However, some of us may still treat these devices as optional equipment. They are not nor is their use.

The human body can withstand 20 g’s deceleration over .02 seconds and still survive. Safety restrains are designed to protect you up to 20-25 g’s

CFR 91.107 (also known as FAR 91.107) has the following requirements:

Before flight, the pilot must ensure passengers are briefed on how to fasten and unfasten seatbelts and installed shoulder harnesses.
The pilot must be sure that all on board are notified to fasten their seatbelts and shoulder harnesses before the aircraft is either moved

(Continued below )

..........on the surface or takes off
..........or lands. And there is more.

Regarding child restrains:

If the device was manufactured between January 1st, 1981 and February 25th, 1985, it must show it conforms to the federal vehicle safety standards.
After February 25, 1985 child seats must bear two labels, one to show it meets

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

..........the federal motor vehicle
..........safety standards and one
..........with the words: "THIS
..........RESTRAINIT IS
..........CERTIFIED FOR USE IN
..........MOTOR VEHICLES AND
..........AIRCRAFT" in red letters.

It’s all in CFR 91.107.

The regulations are very specific about when the pilot in command (PIC) is to use seat belts and shoulder harnesses.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

CFR 91.105 obligates the PIC and any required crew member to wear safety belts during the entire the flight and the shoulder harness for take-off and landing. I recommend you review this regulation before your next flight.

Approved strapping is often dacron or nylon, woven and at least two inches wide. There will be a metal tag pressed or riveted to the belt near the attach fitting

(Continued below )

or a cloth label sewn onto the belt.

Any belts installed or replaced after 1951 must be properly identified with TSO-C22 or a Military designation number. No, Pep Boys specials will not do the job.

Even if you are a full-time renter, Advisory Circular 43-13, Change 3 Aircraft Inspection and Repair gives some straight forward information on seat belts, shoulder harnesses and their installation.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Some considerations:

Frayed or twisted belt straps may be weakened
and not protect the wearer.
Stretched, dirty or mildewed belts may have lost their original strength and, again, not protect as intended.

Seat belts work when they are mounted and installed properly. This means you need expert information, the correct materials, your maintenance technician and a

|

careful reading of AC 43.13. So buckle up for safety. Kathleen O’Brien, LGB FSDO SPM

The Wings Program

What is it anyway?
It is a voluntary Continuing Education Program for pilots that also qualifies as an Official Flight Review.

How does it work?
The training is a combination of

( Continued below left )

flight and ground instruction. For instance, an airplane land pilot would complete:

One hour of flight training dedicated to basic aircraft control
One hour of training dedicated to approaches, landings and takeoffs.
One hour of instrument training
Verified attendance at an FAA sponsored or FAA-sanctioned aviation safety seminar.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

At the seminar you receive a WINGS card signed by the Safety Program Manager. You submit this card, along with verification of your flight training, to the Flight Standards Office. Once verified, you get your wings, a handsome lapel pin, a different one for each of the twenty phases of the program. Keep the certificate you receive, it is proof of your flight review as well!

Advisory Circular 61-91H, Pilot Proficiency Award Program, gives
