2.2.1- Adjusting seat and back position

This photo shows how the lateral adjustments are arranged, and the many points at which the pilot is actually supported, from the upper back

down to the lumbar area. All these adjustments improve pilot support and enable the harness to be adjusted to all back types.

In the detail photo, adjustment n° 1 changes the angle between thighs and back (seat depth), distributing load between seat and the lumbar

area and thus improving pilot comfort.

Adjustment n° 3 is that which is principally used to alter the angle between the torso and the vertical. Adjustments n° 2 and n° 4 are useful for

fine back adjustments, but they are secondary adjustments that improve contact between the harness back and the pilot’s back, improving

support and comfort.
