SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES
During the Preflight Inspection, test the pilot's seat for proper
operation by releasing the seat locking pins, moving the seat full forward,
and then pushing the seat aft. If operating normally, rearward movement
of the seat will be stopped when the aft roller housing on the seat
contacts the secondary seat stop.
Then momentarily unlatch the
secondary seat stop and move the seat farther aft to test that each seat
stop plate tab contacts the secondary seat stop to restrict seat
movement. When the seat is again moved full forward, the secondary
seat stop should momentarily rotate to an unlatched position to allow the
passage of each stop plate tab and the aft seat roller housing.
The pilot should demonstrate the operation of all seats to the
passengers before flight.
