SEATS, BELTS AND HARNESSES
Cockpit seats (Figure 7.3.11B)
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 7.3.11B)
The standard accommodation consists of two individual seats, installed back
to the flight direction, mounted on the same rails as the front seats and two
rear seats arranged as a bench.
The back–rest tilting of these seats can be modified.
The rear seat back–rests tilt forward and the rear L.H. seat may tilt forwards 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.
