hi, in general aviation, seat belts are not replaced every two years, they sit out in the sun lots!!! especially open cockpit biplanes!!! when I worked for a dusting outfit, the stearmans were 20 yrs old, same belts that were installed in 1943 still in use in 1960-1970,s. If they deteriat that easily, then need better material/!!!! the two year rule is based off military jet fighters.
