... No idea as I never researched it that far. However this is one of the most brought up topics on the Cessna Pilots Assoc website, usually somebody with a 172 or 182 that wants to put three kids in the back seat. The answer is you cannot legally put two people in one seat belt or use some kind of belt extender to put three people under a combination of two belts. Ok, but that's not the FSDO's answer. --Gary |

You have to remember that once certified, it is legal. My Bellanca 1948
14-13-2 has only one belt for the back seat. I'd be willing to bet that a new Viking has 4 seats with four belts and harnesses. You have changed all the friction ends to metal to metal, haven't you? Believe this was done by AD. They probably could make everyone have a shoulder harness if they want to push it. -- Cy Galley Safety Programs Editor EAA Sport Pilot "Rich S." wrote in message ... "Cy Galley" wrote in message news:soUSc.138373$eM2.57714@attbi_s51... (b) Each forward-facing or aft-facing seat/restraint system in normal, utility, or acrobatic category airplanes must consist of a seat, a safety belt, and a shoulder harness, with a metal-to-metal latching device, that are designed to provide the occupant protection provisions required in §23.562. Sounds like you need a safety belt for each seat and the word occupant is singular. I don't know if the Pipers - which were certified with a single belt for both occupants - were produced before, or after the change to "normal, utility, or acrobatic category". I seem to remember flying a Taylorcraft that had but a single belt, too - but I might be mistaken. Rich S. |

Its a useless STC though, seeing a 172 is barely a four place aircraft as far as useful load goes. It's not an STC but an option from Cessna. I had the third row seat option when I bought my 182 and all it really is is a couple of pads and a seat belt. I sold it shortly after I bought the plane. I think it is more than that. Since I bought your seat, and tried to have it installed, and was told by the A&P that it needed mounting hardware which didn't come with your seat. I never was able to get it installed and sold it with the airplane. Matt |

And you really don't want to find your insurance void when you need it most. Matt |

Someone metioned 'Rental' in one of the replies. Since I started flying
regularly I have decided I do not want to make a habit of taking my entire family along on flights every weekend. It's suprising how many of my pilot friends have a story about an engine failure followed by a forced landing. On the rare occassions when I need to carry my entire family, I can rent a Cherokee Six. The rest of the time it just me and a friend or two travelling by Archer. Regards, Mike http://mywebpage.netscape.com/amountainaero/fspic1.html "Kyler Laird" wrote in message ...

It's suprising how many of my pilot friends have a story about an engine failure followed by a forced landing. That was my thought when I posted. I should have explained more. I have friends that bought larger aircraft only to realize that they usually fly solo or with a single passenger. Buying small and renting big could be money ahead. |

Mike,
It's suprising how many of my pilot friends have a story about an engine failure followed by a forced landing. Hmm, than you must have a statistically highly unlikely combination of friends. Engine failures are EXTREMELY rare events and even rarer as the cause of fatal accidents. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
