genghis & stevenson,
FAA AC 25.773-1 "Pilot Compartment View - Design Considerations" dated 1/8/93 quotes the following SAE documents:
ARP 268G "Location and Actuation of Flight deck Controls for Transport Airplanes"
ARP 4101/1 "Seats and restraint Systems for the Flight Deck"
ARP 4101/2 "Pilot Visibility from the Flight deck"
which I believe have been superseded/rewritten to give three parts of the new ARP 4101. In quaint FAA speak, designers etc "are encouraged to refer to the guidance" set out in those documents. When I find them (cheaply), I will let you know whether they are useful to the questions.
