Modification on PA32
Hi all.
I have a 1973 PA32 which has 7 forward facing seats. I would like to change the rear seats into club configuration, but have been advised that club seating was only introduced as an option for models after s/n 32-7740001, and mine does not qualify. Apparently I would need an STC to allow this modification to be carried out. Does anyone have relevant experience to advise accordingly about finding any existing STC, or going through the motions to obtain one, and the likely work/costs that might involve? TIA. |
Looking around the internet there doesn't appear to be such an STC - I guess high cost versus small market. The only advice I found was applicable to FAA registered aircraft involving field modification/DER engineering approval.

Has the old version got the underfloor structure to change the seat round.

Has the old version got the underfloor structure to change the seat round I've done this testing and broken seats in the process. I've also passed a number of seat installations, but it's stressful watching the seat and its attachments deflecting under the test load! |
Sorry to say, took a look in google and this subject seems to be well covered.

It's well covered, and not worth it/viable.
Are you in the Facebook PA32 Owners group - an exceptional resource. Safe flights, Sam. |
Out of curiosity, are the seats tested under dynamic or static load?
thanks |
