King Air 350 Limitations Practice Test

During takeoff and landing, aft-facing seats are required to be in the upright position. This is primarily for safety reasons. An upright seat provides better support to the occupant during the high-stress phases of flight. It also ensures that passengers can quickly and safely evacuate the aircraft if necessary. The upright position allows the passenger to have better visibility of potential emergency exits and facilitates ease of movement.

While being reclined may be comfortable for passengers, it can impede an orderly evacuation and might not provide sufficient support during critical phases of flight. Adjusting seats can refer to minor adjustments for comfort, but it is essential that the primary position during these phases be upright for passenger safety. Secured seats are a general requirement but do not specifically pertain to the positioning of aft-facing seats in this context.
