MV Aviation Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Hi folks, has anyone with an EASA-reg vintage Mooney (A-G) upgraded their aircraft with 3-point seat belts? There is a FAA STC by Alpha Aviation But nothing else. If you have a shoulder harness, where did you get it and what is the legal base for its installation? The CS-SC153b only allows the replacement of existing belts, but no upgrade or new installation. Thanks!

tmo Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 @MV Aviation - see if you can perhaps leverage the EASA validation of FAA Supplemental Type Certificate classified as Basic and limited to one serial number - I seem to recall it didn't cost an absurd amount of money when I looked at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
podair Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 my front seat shoulder harnesses were validated by the Danish CAA a while back and you should be able to grandfather that. Drop me your email and I ll scan what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventus4 Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 I did upgrade my M20F with with 3-point seat belts by Alpha Aviation. Mooney Service Center in Germany did all the job. I'm very satisfied. BR Andrea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vintage Mooneys did not feature 3-point belts from factory, so it's hard to argue that it's only a replacement. Hence, one needs an STC (which does not exist for EASA aircraft to my knowledge) or minor/major change paperwork. Thanks for your help!
