SEATING POSITION
As in aircraft, achieving the correct seating position is very important. the correct seating position not only allows the pilot to have the best possible view of the instruments and outside the cockpit, but also ensures that he can operate all controls in both normal and non -normal situations , it is critical during low visibility procedures (LVP) that the pilot's eyes are positioned correctly so that he maximises the visual segment, thus increasing the possibility of achieving the required visual reference for landing as early as possible
To achieve correct eye position. The aircraft is fitted with an indicator located on the centre windscreen post. It comprises two balls which, when superimposed one on the other, indicate that the pilot's eyes are in the correct position, adjust the seat horizontally, vertically and in recline to ensure correct eye position the adjustments to the seat should be made when sitting in a normal posture Common error is sitting too low which decrease the cockpit cut -off angel, reducing the vertical segment

VISUAL GROUND GEOMETRY
After seat adjustment, the outboard armrest should be adjusted such that the forearm rests on it comfortably when holding the sidestick. There should be no gaps between the forearm and the armrest and the wrist should not be bent when holding the sidestick. This ensures that flight manoeuvres can be accomplished by movement of the wrist Rather than having to lift the forearm from the rest symptoms of incorrect armrest adjustment include over - controlling and the inability to make small, precise inputs.
