Aircraft Seat Design Guidance and Clarifications
Also Known As: SAE ARP5526F, SAE ARP 5526
The SAE ARP 5526F:2022 standard aims to establish a unified understanding of terms, compliance considerations, and design criteria for the certification of seat installations in Part 25 aircraft. It strives to provide general guidance for seats in Part 23 aircraft, as well as Parts 27 and 29 rotorcraft. However, it does not prescribe specific designs or design methods for certification.
This standard serves as a valuable resource for manufacturers, regulatory authorities, and other stakeholders involved in the development and certification of aircraft seating systems. By establishing a common understanding of terminology and compliance requirements, it facilitates the certification process and promotes safety and consistency in seat design.
While the standard does not provide predefined seat designs, it offers insight into important considerations, such as seat dimensions, materials, structural integrity, crashworthiness, and occupant safety. It helps ensure that seats meet the necessary reliability, durability, and crash protection requirements while providing comfort for passengers.
