Hi Everyone,
Attached is a .pdf file discussing the fabrication and installation of shoulder harnesses for the PT-22. Steve Freeman developed this design over time and it is based on FAA
requirements and best support for the pilot and passenger. We have lost members in accidents due to the failure of their harnesses and could have lost Harrison Ford, had he not been wearing a Kevlar Helmet. His shoulder harnesses failed horribly, as we have witnessed his particular installation to do in the past. Steve discusses all this in his article.
If you have not installed shoulder harnesses addressing the issues he covers, please, please...ground your airplane and take care of this.
Regards,
