to move up and down. Both seats have adjustable

Pilot and Copilot Seat Belts and Shoulder
Harnesses. Each pilot and copilot seat is equipped
with a lap-type seat belt and shoulder harness con-
nected 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 seatback. The two straps are worn with
one strap over each shoulder and fastened by metal
loops into the seat belt buckle. The spring loading at
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.
