SEATS, BELTS AND HARNESSES
Cockpit seats (Figure 7.3.11)
L.H. and R.H. front seats are mounted on rails attached to the structure.
Longitudinal position, height and back–rest tilting of each seat can be
adjusted and the arm–rest is hinged.
Pull up the handle located forwards (Item 7) for longitudinal setting.
The seat height is adjusted by pulling up side handle (Item 9) while relieving
the seat from the body weight.
The seat back angle is adjusted by pulling up side handle (Item 10).
Passengers’ seats (Figure 7.3.11)
The standard accommodation consists of four individual seats mounted on
the same rails as the front seats.
The back–rest tilting of the seats can be modified.
The L.H. rear seat back tilts forward, to ease baggage loading in aft baggage
compartment.
Belts and harnesses (Figure 7.3.12)
WARNING
INCORRECT CLOSURE OF THE SAFETY BELT MAY INTRODUCE A
RISK. MAKE SURE IT IS TIGHTENED WHEN BUCKLED. TO BE MOST
EFFICIENT, THE BELT MUST NOT BE TWISTED. CHECK THAT
THERE IS NO CONSTRAINT WHEN OPERATED. AFTER A SERIOUS
ACCIDENT, REPLACE ALL BELTS
Safety belts consist of three parts : two adjustable half–belts attached to the
seat and one harness installed on an inertial reel attached to the structure.
The inertial reel allows lengthwise movements as long as they are not
sudden, otherwise the reel jams and hinders the displacement of the
occupant forward. Harness is linked to belt with its buckle and a pin.
