I was originally planning to go to Torrance this week for my transition training. Unfortunately the training airplanes are down for maintenance, so the transition has to postpone.

I had originally planned to go to Torrance this week for my transition training. Unfortunately, the training airplanes are down for maintenance, so the transition has been postponed.

Instead of training, I continued working on the underseat cover plates.

Copilot side:

  • Fitted the plate some more, enlarged a few holes slightly to align the M4 screws and the rivnuts.
  • Glued the carpet onto the metal plate.
  • Connected the heater air hose to the air outlet.
  • Installed the plate to the airplane.

  • Fitted the plate further and enlarged a few holes slightly to align the M4 screws and rivnuts.
  • Glued the carpet to the metal plate.
  • Connected the heater air hose to the air outlet.
  • Installed the plate on the airplane.

Pilot side:

  • Fitted the plate to align all screws and rivnut holes.
  • Glued the carpet onto the metal.
  • The rest will be done tomorrow.

  • Adjusted the plate to align all screws and rivnut holes.
  • Glued the carpet to the metal plate.
  • I’ll finish the rest tomorrow.

Fully prepared on the copilot side

Copilot-side air duct connected. I didn’t use a clamp because the hose is already tight, and there is no need to seal perfectly at this spot.
