handle allows the seat to move up and down. Both
seats have moveable headrests and armrests that will
raise and lower for access to the cockpit. Handholds
on either side of the overhead panels and a foldaway
protective pedestal step are provided for pilot and
copilot entry into the cockpit. For the storage of maps
and the operator's manual, pilot's and copilot's seats
have an inboard-slanted, expandable pocket affixed to
the lower portion of the seat back. Pocket openings
are held closed by shock cord tension.
b. Pilot's and Copilot's Seat Belts and
Shoulder Harnesses. The pilot's and copilot's seats
are each equipped with a lap-type seat belt and
shoulder harness connected to an inertia reel. The
shoulder harness belt is of the Y configuration with the
single strap being contained in an inertia reel attached
to the base of the seat back. The two straps are worn
with one strap over each shoulder and fastened by
metal loops into the seat belt buckle. The inertia reel
keeps the harness snug but will allow normal
movement required during flight operations. The
inertia reel is designed with a locking device that will
secure the harness in the event of sudden forward
movement or an impact action.
