DA 62 AFM Airplane Description
7.6 SEATS AND SAFETY HARNESSES
To increase passive safety, the seats are constructed using a carbon fiber/Kevlar hybrid
material and GFRP. The seats are removable to allow maintenance and inspection of
the underlying controls. Covers on the control sticks prevent loose objects from falling
into the area of the controls.
The seats have removable furnishings and are equipped with energy-absorbing foam
elements.
The seats are fitted with three-part safety harnesses. The harnesses are fastened by
inserting the end of the belts in the belt lock, and are opened by pressing the red release
on the belt lock.
The backrest of the passenger seats row I can be laid forward after pulling upwards the
release lever.
If OÄM 62-019 is installed, the two passenger seats of row II may be installed. The
backrest of the passenger seats row II can be laid forward after pulling the release lever
upwards. In case of an emergency, the LH seat backrest can be released by pulling the
red handle on the back side of the seat pan of the LH passenger seat of row I.
The front seats have adjustable backrests installed. The angle of the backrests and the
lumbar can be adjusted for best comfort. The backrest release button is situated on the
upper side of the seat´s side frame. However, during take-off, landing and emergency
landing the backrests must be fixed in the upright position designated by a placard.
The lumbar support can be adjusted by operating the lumbar support lever mounted on
the outboard side of the seat pan.
CAUTION
Before adjusting the angle, lean against the backrest to
counteract the spring load; otherwise the backrest may slap
forward.
