If the OÄM 42-259 is installed, the seat pan and backrest are bolted similarly to the inboard and
outboard hinges. The hinges are linked twice, once thru brackets with the Hydrolok cylinder and
once with a bolt allowing rotation. A button operates via bowden cable a valve allowing the
Hydrolok cylinder retract/extend forcing the hinges rotating around their connecting bolt.
Additionally the backrest is forced forward by a spring integrated in the Hydrolok cylinder.
The upright position of the backrest is determined by a placard on the roll-over bar.
A lumbar support cushion is integrated to the lower part of the backrest. The cushion is operated
via a Bowden cable by use of a lever mounted to the outboard side of the seat pan.
A padded cushion covers the seat pan molding and the backrest. Press studs attach the forward
part of the seat cushion to the seat pan. A flexible gaiter attaches to the front seat pan with
press-studs. The control-stick passes through the gaiter. A velcro band seals the top of the
gaiter to the control stick.
B. Passenger Seat
Figure 4 shows the passenger seat installation. The passenger seat has three main parts. It has
a double seat pan which is the full width of the cockpit. The rear seat pan also makes the baggage
compartment floor. The passenger seat also has two seat backs which attach to the seat pan with
hinges. A latch at the left side of each seat back locks the seat in the upright position. You can lift
the latch pin to fold the seat-back forward for access to the aft baggage compartment.
A padded seat cushion covers the seat molding. Velcro tapes attach the forward part of the seat
cushion to the seat pan. Padded cushions also cover the seat backs.
Rivets attach a metal plate under each half of the seat pan at the back. Two bolts go through each
half of the seat pan and the metal plate to hold the lap straps of the safety harness. Three bolts with
washer plates on each side of the seat pan go through the seat pan and metal plate to anchor nuts
in metal anchor plates. The anchor plates are bolted to the fuselage structure. Two bolts with
washer plates attach the front of the seat pan to ribs on top of the rear main bulkhead. Five bolts
with washer plates attach the rear of the seat pan to the top face of the aft baggage compartment
frame.
C. Crash Elements
Each seat rests on crash elements. Each crash element has layers of fiber composite and a special
rigid foam bonded together. The crash elements compress under the high loads which occur in
accidents. They reduce the injuries to pilots and passengers in an accident.
The rear of each pilot’s seat rests on two crash elements. They are located just outboard of the
safety harness attachments. The passenger seat pan rests on two crash elements. They are
located under the anchor plates on each side.
