Rear Seats

The rear seats employ a one-piece bench seat and two seat backs configured
in 60/40 split. This "2+1" seating configuration provides for a center
seat/restraint area for a third passenger on the wider left hand seat.
Each seat back reclines independently of each other and can be folded
forward to provide a semi-flat surface for cargo extending forward from the
baggage compartment. Recline position is controlled through a lever
located on either side of the seat.
To Fold Seat Back Forward
1. With no pressure on the seat back, rotate the lever to the recline posi-
tion and fold the seat back forward.

Seat Belt and Shoulder Harness

Integrated seat belt and shoulder harness assemblies with inertia reels are
provided for the pilot and each passenger.
The front seats use a 4-point inflatable restraint system. Forward seat belts
are attached to the seat frame. The shoulder harnesses are attached to
inertia reels mounted in the seat back.
The rear seats use a 3-point safety harness consisting of one shoulder
harness and a lap belt. The rear seat belts are attached to fittings on the
cabin floor. The shoulder harnesses are attached to inertia reels mounted to
the baggage compartment rear bulkhead.
Each front and rear seat shoulder harness is attached to the seat belt. The
inertia reels allow complete freedom of movement of the occupant's upper
torso. In the event of a sudden deceleration, the reels lock automatically to
protect the occupants. It is recommended that the seat belts be stowed in
the latched position when not in use.

Front Seat Inflatable Restraints

An inflatable shoulder harness is integral to each front seat harness. The
electronic module assembly, mounted below the cabin floor, contains a
crash sensor, battery, and related circuitry to monitor the deceleration rate
of the airplane. In the event of a crash, the sensor evaluates the crash pulse
and sends a signal to an inflator assembly mounted to the aft seat frame.
This signal releases the gas in the inflator and rapidly inflates the airbag
within the shoulder harness cover. After airbag deployment, the airbag
deflates to enable the pilot/co-pilot to egress the airplane without obstruc-
tion.
The crash sensor's predetermined deployment threshold does not allow
inadvertent deployment during normal operations, such as hard landings,
strikes on the seat, or random vibration.
