Published purpose

King Air seats have a basic flaw that does not meet aircraft standards and has not been fixed from design. OEM has refused to eliminate the known issue and the current replacement bracket is not available. Product design to improve the king air seat bracket and not only reduce the failure of the seat but eliminate it all together. This include loading of 9g plus loads. The seat is known to fail and potential to cause catastrophic failures for pilot seats and injuries to passengers. The upgraded seat bracket will re-design the basics of the bracket and eliminate the failure all together. As well as eliminate future maintenance and cost requirements to the operator.
