upgraded dhc-3 pilots seat

[spool up time]

Been asked to find suppliers of upgraded/modified pilots seat for otters, eg. more comfortable, with fold-down arm rests etc.
Any names of suppliers would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Certified? Ask Viking, I'd think any seat certified for the -3 would be known to them.
Not certified? You don;t want to go there.
would anybody guess the cost to build and certify a seat for any aircraft today?

[spool up time]

yes... of course, certified.

What did Viking say?

I wonder if a Twin otter seat would slide into the same mounting thingies as the single otter seat. Then at least you'd have armrests, although the seat isn't exactly what I'd call "upgraded"..

[longjon]

Is it the same P.N.? otherwise your c of a is void, your ins is void, but we all know this already,,, right.

You're right, but I was just thinking about it because he said "upgraded"... I suppose since they have the type certificates, Viking could make an "upgraded" seat out of a twin otter one if they wanted, maybe. I don't know.
