PILOT SEATS
The pilot seats have controls for forward/aft and
up/down movement. In addition, seat back recline,
arm rests angle and lumbar support can be ad-
justed. With Mod No 1760 installed an adjustable
mechanical lumbar support is introduced. With this
modification the seat back can be raised or lowered
by slightly pulling the lower part of the seat back
and then adjusting the height.
The shoulder harness is of a reel type which can be
locked by a handle or by inertia.
If optional ACARS installed
With ACARS installed the center pedestal is ex-
tended towards the observer seat resulting in less
comfort for the occupancy. In order to improve that
it is recommended that the inboard armrests on the
two pilot seats should not be folded down when the
observer seat is occupied.
