## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Aviointeriors S.p.A. (formerly ALVEN), Seat Model 312. This AD requires initial and repetitive inspections of the seat center crossmember for cracks, and if necessary, replacing the crossmember with a new crossmember. This amendment is prompted by reports of cracks in the crossmember that were found during normal maintenance. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent the loss of the structural integrity of the seat due to cracks in the seat center crossmember.
