Boeing 747 pilots get clearer rules for seat inspections

The US aviation regulator has updated a rule about inspecting pilot seats on Boeing 747 airplanes. This change clarifies which specific actions are not required when using older service information for these inspections.

This is a minor technical correction to an existing safety directive. It does not change the core requirement for inspecting pilot seats, but it makes the compliance process clearer for airlines and maintenance crews. This kind of detail prevents confusion and ensures that safety checks are performed correctly without unnecessary steps.
