2. Description and Operation
A. Pilots' Seats
Figure 1 shows the pilot's seat installation. Each pilot’s seat is a GFRP/Carbon/Kevlar molding. Rivets attach a metal plate to the bottom of the seat pan at the back. Two bolts go through the seat pan and the metal plate to hold the lap straps of the safety belt. These bolts also hold metal anchor plates which attach to anchor nuts in the large cut-out in the front main bulkhead.
The front of the seat pan curves down to locate over the rear wall of the floor panel. Two bolts with washer plates attach the front of the seat to the floor panel.
A padded seat cushion covers the GFRP/Carbon/Kevlar molding. Press-studs attach the forward part of the seat cushion to the seat pan. A flexible gaiter attaches to the seat pan with press-studs. The control stick passes through the gaiter. A velcro seals the top of the gaiter to the stick.

B. Passenger Seat
Figure 2 shows the passenger seat installation. The passenger seat has 3 main parts. It has a double seat pan which is the full width of the cockpit. The rear part of the seat pan also makes the baggage compartment floor. The passenger seat also has 2 seat-backs which attach to the seat pan with hinges. A latch pin at the left side of each seat-back locks the seat-back in the upright position. You can lift the latch to fold the seat-back forward for access to the baggage compartment.
A padded seat cushion covers the GFRP/Carbon/Kevlar molding. Press-studs 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 belt. 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 baggage compartment frame.
C. Crash Elements
Each seat rests on crash elements. Each crash element has layers of carbon fiber composite and a special rigid foam bonded together. The crash elements compress under the high loads which occur in accidents. They reduce the injury to the pilot or passenger in an accident.
The rear of each pilot’s seat rests on 2 crash elements. They are located just outboard of the safety belt attachments. The passenger seat pan rests on 2 crash elements. They are located under the anchor plates on each side.
