Good afternoon, everyone.
I am familiar with the aircraft seat emergency landing conditions set forth in 14 CFR 25.562, and I was just wondering if there are similar load conditions or dynamic tests that spacecraft seats are subject to by the FAA, NASA, or other regulatory body.

Thanks!

Google 'FAA manned spacecraft certification' or 'NASA manned spacecraft certification'

This is likely embedded in the certification regulations, both agencies.
