## Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of uncommanded movement of the Captain's seat in the forward direction that caused a rapid descent. This AD requires inspections of affected Captain's and First Officer's seats for missing or cracked rocker switch caps and for cracked or nonfunctional switch cover assemblies, a rocker switch cap pull test, marking of the seats, and applicable on-condition actions. This AD also limits the installation of affected seats. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
