What light planes DO have nice backseats? Also, if you are below 200hp,
you are unlikely going to need much room back there.


Our '74 Pathfinder has a very spacious back seat. On the rare occasions
when I've ridden in the back (while Mary was flying with our daughter as
co-pilot) I have been very comfortable -- and I'm 6 feet tall, most of it in
the legs.

It's safe to say that our back seats are FAR more comfortable than any
modern airliners, sad to say. And the view is better, too!

Yep my 182 is really good also. After the front seat passengers get
squared away there is enough room to have a swing up foot rest
installed, just like your Lazy Boy.

The back seat of my 65 Comanche is pretty comfortable, but I've never
gotten to sit there in flight. The front edge of the back seat is
constrained by the main spar, but the seat is very deep so that even a
tall guy like me is mostly sitting on the seat rather than hanging off.

Trust me -- it's a weird feeling.

And a very helpless one, after you've grown used to being within reach of
the controls...
