Front Seats
Anyone have a bright idea to improve the crashworthiness of the front seats?
Im told strengthening floor is required to replace the fiberglass tubs with the new design. Combined cost of strengthening and the new seat is prohibitive for most operators. US$30k?
So, is there an intermediate measure where the existing seat can be more securely fixed to the airframe?
I've heard reports that either the seat itself snaps or that the fixings can fail.
Perhaps both can be strengthened as lower cost minor mods without the need for reinforcing the floor?
