Default Columbia Seat Limitation

Marco Leon wrote:

Other forums have mentioned that there's a limit of 4 passengers in the
Columbia regardless of size. Is this true? Are the limitations
model-dependent or is it a FAR 23 thing? Seems to me that seat belt
requirements may drive some of this.


The Columbia has 4 seats and 4 seat belts. That would limit the number of
passengers over the age of 2 yrs. to 4. Children under 2 yrs. of age can
legally ride on the lap of a belted passenger. Conceivably, it would be
possible to have seven occupants in the cabin (as long as W&B allowed). 1
pilot and 3 adult passengers each with a lap child.
