Anyway, the seat belts no
longer have "tags" that designate them approved. He said they must either be
replaced or refurbished for the plane to be considered airworthy


He's wrong. The belts probably never had tags. There's no requirement for
older planes to have the TSO tags on them.


Hmmm, I might buy that.

The FAA's ramp inspection "guide" useta have an item for seatbelt
tags.

Pretty sure it referenced 91.205 (b) something-or-other which calls
for "an approved safety belt".

I'm just not sure how you can convince the FAA that a seat belt
without a data tag, or other identifying markings is "approved".
