Clinton, MO – October 17, 2016 – Aviation Fabricators (AvFab) recently announced they have received Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval for the installation of their Beechcraft King Air ISR (Intelligence/Surveillance/Reconnaissance) Operator Seat for a variety of 90, 100, 200, 300/350 series model King Airs from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Operator Seat received approval on Oct. 11, 2016.
AvFab's King Air Operator Seat provides maximum operator comfort from design features that include vertical seat adjustment of 3.0 inches, a 5-point restraint system, stowable arm rests, and fore-aft floor tracking controlled via a convenient hand lever. The proven design is well-suited for the demanding requirements of any Special Missions ISR theater, weighing only 29.0 lbs. (31.0 lbs. with optional upholstery and armrests). AvFab officials point to the short lead-times their production lines will support with this newly approved Operator seat, due to the urgent requirements that often exist in the ISR market.
