This might be a naiive question, but is seat rail inspection part of an annual? I have studied the mechanism under the seats, and it appears to be far less beefy than the one under my car seat. The reason I ask is, a seat rail becoming disengaged could cause a serious issue, even catastrophic, especially during takeoff. Has this ever happened, and how reliable are the seat locking mechanisms in GA aircraft?
