2. Description and Operation
A. Pilots’ Seats
(1) Fixed Pilots’ Seats
Figure 1 shows the pilot’s seat installation. Each pilot’s seat is GFRP/Carbon/Kevlar molding.
Rivets attach a metal plate to the bottom of the seat pan at the back. Two bolts go through the
seat pan and the metal plate to hold the lap straps of the safety harness. These bolts also hold
metal anchor plates which attach to anchor nuts in the large cut out in the front main bulkhead.
The front of the seat pan curves down to locate over the rear vertical wall of the front floor panel.
Two bolts with washer plates attach the front seat to the floor panel.
A padded seat cushion covers the molding. Velcro tapes attach the forward part of the seat
cushion to the seat pan. A flexible gaiter attaches to the front seat pan with velcro tapes. The
control stick passes through the gaiter. A velcro tape seals the top of the gaiter to the control
stick.
(2) Pilots’ Seats with Adjustable Backrest (if OÄM 42-067 or OÄM 42-259 is carried out)
CAUTION:
DO NOT LOOSEN THE LEVER FOR THE ADJUSTABLE BACKREST OF
THE FRONT SEATS UNINTENTIONALLY. THE SPRING LOADED
BACKREST MAY SNAP FORWARD AND CAN CAUSE INJURY.
Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the variants of pilots’ seats with adjustable backrest installations.
Each pilots’ seat consists of a seat pan and a backrest made of GFRP/Carbon/Kevlar. Rivets
attach a metal plate to the bottom of the seat pan at the back. Two bolts go through the seat pan
and the metal plate to hold the lap straps of the safety harness. These bolts also hold metal
anchor plates which attach to anchor nuts in the large cut-out in the front main bulkhead. The
front of the seat pan curves down to locate over the rear vertical wall of the front floor panel.
The backrest is attached to the seat pan via an inboard and an outboard hinge. If OÄM 42-067
is installed each hinge is formed by two lamella packages - one is bolted to the seat pan, the
other to the backrest with hexagon head bolts. The lamella packages act as a friction brake
controlled by a friction adjustment screw and the seat lever on the outboard side of each
backrest. To preload the friction brake to the correct setting refer to the Maintenance Practices
in this Section. Additionally the backrest is forced forward by a GFRP/Carbon spring element
mounted to the bottom of the seat pan.
