These products include developing the Beechjet Special Mission Observer / Operator's Seat for the US military's T1A "Jayhawk". The King Air Operator Seat was born from our success with the Beechjet Operator Seat. AvFab's STC approved King Air Operator Seat provides a proven design that is well-suited for the demanding requirements of any Special Missions ISR theater. Maximum operator comfort is ensured from design features that include vertical seat adjustment of 3" and fore-aft floor tracking controlled via convenient hand levers, 5-point restraint system, and stowable arm rests.

Due to variable seat upholstery weights it is the responsibility of the installer to determine the exact final seat weight when installing and removing the operator seat.

An aft-tracking version is in development and should be available soon.
