Wag Aero told me that it is not legal to use their seat belt
extenders in a certificated airplane and there are no labels
on them indicating that you can. The deal is that they have
a STC for the belts and harnesses, but not for the
extenders. The extenders have the same webbing and buckles,
so they surely are as safe as the main belts. I suspect
that the airlines have their extenders approved, so there is
no problem there. As you know every little bit has to be
approved by the original airworthiness certificate and
equipment list, or by STC, or by field approval. That said,
I will use the extenders if needed for the occasional lardo,
but I would probably not want to use them regularly.
