The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to require that all applicants for supplemental type certificate (STC) seat installations in any aircraft include a conspicuous notification on the title page of the Instructions for Continuing Airworthiness accompanying the STC. This notification must state whether the installation provides enhanced occupant protection compared to the originally installed seats and the certification standard level met by the seating system.
