Front Seat Cockpit Fitting Guide -
To meet the minimum VON of 8.1 degree
requirement and to ensure the front seat pilot has full access to all controls, a combination of
seat-spacers and cushions may be required. Figure 3-2 is to be used as an initial guide to
determine these requirements. The final configuration of spacers will depend on the individual
pilot's physique and preference – and may require changes from aircraft to aircraft. However,
in no case shall the maximum number of front seat back-spacers be exceeded.

Maximum Number Of Front Seat Back-Spacers -
Excessive use of spacers may
result in control column interference and reduction of seating area. Excessive use of cushions
will negate the shock absorbing benefits of the specially designed ACGP spacers. Therefore
the maximum number of front seat back spacers is one curved back-spacer, two flat back-
spacers, and one cushion.

Front Seat Spacer Usage -
The following instructions amplify those of C-12-382-
000MS-Z01 and shall be used for the step-by-step installation of spacers and cushions in all
ACGP 2-33 gliders:
a.
The curved back-spacer is for the front seat only.
NOTE
Only one curved back-spacer shall be used.
b.
Installation of back-spacers shall be such that the seating area is not
compromised. Excessive reduction of the seating area may be a contributing
factor to pilots sliding under the lap belt.
