There was the (apocryphal?) story of the seats being unable to be removed for servicing too, as the top of the cockpit fuselage was too narrow to get them out, which begged the question of how they were installed initially
Beagle: I'd heard that too. I presume they used some form of spreading tool such as a sash cramp working in reverse, plus an FBA adjustment? 17th Jun 2015 13:23
Must be one of those stories that grows over time, as the best stories usually have some level of truth- perhaps difficult to remove, but surely they can be removed- and the yellow and black handle has "removed" the seat on occasion, so obvioulsy the seat can fit between the frame. "Elbows In!"
