Maximum loading for passenger seats.
I understand that passenger seats must be able to withstand a 16g dynamic loading.
Does anyone know what seat loading these tests are based on?
I am struggling to find a reference for maximum loading for passenger seats.
It seems extraordinary in an industry that lives and dies by specifications being tested and promulgated that there is apparently no max weight given for a set of seats.
In the modern era of extremely obese travellers, am I missing something?
Are seat anchors, rails and seat belts so strong that it is a moot point?
