ABSTRACT:
A tandem seat assembly for ultra light aircraft is disclosed which is interchangeable with a single seat configuration. The assembly, which is primarily used for pilot training, is fitted with dual aircraft controls. The single seat must be removable from an ultra light aircraft in order for the tandem seat assembly as described by this invention to be utilized. The tandem seat assembly is thereby placed in the aircraft such that the center of gravity of the seat assembly is near the nominal center of gravity of the aircraft. Universal attachments of the seat assembly to the aircraft frame allow the seat assembly to be used with a number of different manufacturers of ultra light aircraft models.
