AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS EQUIPMENT SA227‐ SERIES/FCOM/VTM 6.25.1 FLIGHT COMPARTMENT The flight compartment is equipped with dual flight controls, instruments, and electrical control panels conveniently located for crew accessibility. Upholstered seats are provided for the pilot and copilot. Each seat is mounted on parallel tracks bolted to the compartment floor. The seats are adjustable vertically and horizontally and are removable (See Figure 6.25‐1). Depressing a button under the inboard armrest releases a locking mechanism and allows the armrest to be lowered. The outboard armrests rotate upward and are stowed vertically. They must be lifted vertically to unlock them prior to rotating them to the horizontal position. The flight compartment is sound dampened and insulated with flame‐ resistant material. PILOT’S SEAT

PASSENGER COMPARTMENT The passenger compartment typically is equipped with 19 passenger chairs. The chairs are installed in two rows with a center aisle. To provide space for cargo, the seats may be removed. A movable bulkhead provides visual isolation of the passenger and cargo compartments. Fittings are provided for its installation at each chair station as far forward as the aft emergency escape hatch. This enables conversion between passenger and cargo loading at 30‐inch increments, with passenger loading through the forward door and cargo through the aft door. The cabin flooring is designed for uniformly distributed loading of 150 pounds per square foot (732 kg per square meter). A cargo tiedown net is provided as loose equipment. A shelf is installed just aft of the rear cargo compartment. This shelf is designed to carry additional remote‐mounted avionics equipment as well as a number of the standard equipment items. PASSENGER ADVISORY LIGHTS The passenger advisory lights consist of FASTEN SEAT BELT – NO SMOKING signs located on the bulkheads at the forward end of the cabin. The lighting for the signs is controlled by a switch on the copilot’s switch panel. A passenger alerting chime, which sounds when the switch is repositioned, is available as a option along with the avionics equipment.
