Well Fareastdriver,
it´s not that easy....
Feel very comfy in a BK117 - but get backpain in a BK117D2...
Nice helicopter with lots off efforts done in making pilots life easier - but a drawback in seatdesign.
I´m fairly tall - and the seats seems designed for smaler pilots....
and they are fairly low in comparison to the older BK 117.
So whenever I´m on the Co-Pilot side, not actually flying, I have to remove my feet from the pedals.
Sit down on the floor and move your feet closer to you - what will happen?
You´ll bend your back!
Hope Airbus gets this sorted out soon!
