SUW: 3 seats, 2 pax
ASW: 2 seats, 1 pax
Log/VERTREP: 5 seats, 3 pax
SAR/MEDEVAC: 5, 3 pax

17
Q

Seating Configuration Notes:

A
  1. Use of the sono launcher window is prohibited.
  2. Up to 5 cabin seats can be installed in the Log/VERTREP or SAR/MEDEVAC. A maximum of 4 seats may be occupied in any configuration. litter installation prevents use of the SO seat and instructor seat.
  3. the starboard rear seat may be installed if dipping sonar is removed. the center rear seat may be installed if the dipping sonar, sono launcher and and RAST probe are removed. The port rear seat may be installed if the dipping sonar and sono launcher are removed.
  4. LHEP significantly reduces the FOV and success rate of obtaining visual contact with a survivor when performing SAR lookout duties form the SO window. Dedicated SAR missions should consider removal of the LHEP to enhance probability of detecting/ sighting the survivor.
  5. Due to confined cabin space, dedicated SAR in an ASW configured aircraft equipped with ALFS is not recommended.
  6. due do decreased area at the cabin door, dedicated SAR with the RHEP installed is not recommended.

Q

Seating Configuration Warnings

A
  1. In the event of a crash, the SO console seat poses a headstrike hazard to passengers in both the port rear seat and center rear seat. If the port rear or center rear seats are occupied the SO console seat SHALL be unoccupied and secured in the full forward position.
  2. Only a Simula seat SHALL be installed in instructor seat location. other seats pose a headstrike hazard in the event of a crash.
  3. The instructor seat shall not be occupied if the GAU 21 is to be placed in the inboard stow position.
