Uh.... Aircraft belts have a special stitching on the harness ( where
all the connector and buckles are) that automotive and boats dont have.
Its there to make sure the harness will take the high impact Gs. If
you get in an accident and the insurance company notices non std
aviation seat belts..........well you can guess the rest. If the DAR is
on the ball he wont pass your aircraft either.
Be careful.
