Same puzzle here..

I cannot understand why BOTH seats do not have locks for the upright
position..and our "lock forward" seat is stranger still...

I remember reading somewhere where one owner was pushing the right
seat back fwd into the control yoke to "lock" the
controls...presumably using this "forward lock".

Maybe some Cherokee drivers on this NG can share some light on this..

Thanks for your response..

My co-pilot seat needs the knob rotated to move the seat forward and I don't
think it locks in the forward position. My pilot seat has no rotating latch
and can be pushed forward at any time. I think this could lead to major
injury if there was a passenger in the left read seat and the plane had a
minor crash. I can't think of any reason for the pilot seat to rotate
forward other than it makes it easier to remove for repairs or inspections.

Is this normal? Can anyone think of a good reason for designing it this way?

Some are gona think this is a dumb ? , but here goes..

Our Warrior (new to us) has a seat back "release" on the co-pilots
seat..

OK, -so does the seat back lock in the " forward position" and the
"release allows it to move back to the "upright" position?

Ours does... seems backward tho...

Any reason for it locking forward (rear seat entry position)?

Most seats I have seen lock upright and are "released" to fold
forward..

This seat works opposite...

Thoughts you can share?
