ED Decision 2003/13/RM
(a) A headrest must be provided to protect each occupant from rebound injuries in the event of a crash landing. It must be equipped with energy absorbent padding protected against wear and weathering encountered in normal operation. If an adjustable headrest is provided it must be capable of being positioned such that the point of head contact is at eye level. (See AMC 22.788(a))
(b) Each headrest must be so designed to minimize the possibility of clothing or the parachute becoming caught when bailing out. (See AMC 22.788(b))
(c) Each headrest in its most critical position must be designed for an ultimate load of at least 135 daN normal to a vertical plane which touches the contact point of the head.
(d) The width and design of the headrest must not unduly restrict vision from either seat.
