The front
cockpit has a largish headrest that almost completely
blocks the forward view from the rear cockpit. In Europe,
because the DG1000 is certified by EASA, we are not
even allowed to remove it, as it is specified in the
type certificate! While a headrest may be an important
safety item in a car to protect you from whiplash in
a rear end shunt, I am still trying to work out in
what circumstances a glider might get rammed from behind?

Perhaps a ground loop?
