Dettmers certifies 16-g seat

Dettmers Industries (Stuart, FL) announced it has received FAA certification of its new 16-g model 6003 Track and Swivel executive aircraft seat. The company expects certification of the seat in the Boeing 777 and Airbus Industrie Corporate Jet and A340 models soon. The first ship set of the seats will be delivered to a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) completion center in the next 45 days.

The new seat is certified for takeoff and landing with the track and swivel mechanism in any position and installations can be accommodated with seat tracks from 11 to 20.75 in. Dettmers says its seat provides 50% more seat tracking area than the standard tracking available on other seats.

The seat is available in a range of sizes and options, including variable armrest geometry, lifter pans, adjustable lumbar, flex-wing headrest, recliner footrest with auto-retracting extension, provisions for stowable IFE monitor and passenger control units, and custom upholstery.
