4.4.3 Sitting
Position
Ensure the position of the rudder pedals is comfortable and allows full
deflection of the rudder when strapped in. Pilots with short legs may need
a cushion to bring them closer to the pedals.
When seated with seatbelts fastened you should be able to fully deflect the
stick in all directions and reach all the necessary controls. Small pilots may
require cushions to place them closer to controls and tall pilots may need to
remove the middle part of the seat upholstery. It is possible to have the
factory move the rudder pedals forward 100mm for very tall pilots.
To be most effective the lap portion of the seatbelt should be tightened first.
Ensure the belt is quite snug around the lower pelvis. Tighten the shoulder
straps only enough so that you can insert your fist between the strap and
your chest. (see photos on next page).
