Front Seats
12. Both pilot seats are fully articulating:
a. the seat is positioned fore / aft by lifting the tubular handle under the centre of the
seat bottom. Slide the seat into position, release the lever and ensure that the
locking pins are engaged on the seat track;
b. the seat height is adjusted up / down by rotating the large crank handle located
on the inboard lower corner of the seat. If additional upward adjustment is
required for proper visibility over the nose, an approved and properly secured
seat cushion may be used;
c. the seat back angle is adjusted with the small crank handle on the outboard lower
corner of the seat. The seat bottom angle changes with the back angle;
d. both seat backs may be folded forward for easier access to the rear cabin; and
e.
a safety strap and locking reel is provided under the pilot’s seat to prevent
inadvertent rearward movement under acceleration should the seat locking pins
fail.
