Default Removing the rear seats (was Scared of mid-airs

It doesn't say anything in my POH, so I guess it wasn't considered...

Does this mean I need an STC for it?

Turns out, it's fairly easy to remove the rear seats from an Arrow.


What does the Arrow POH say about operating with the rear seats
removed? Is it approved? Does removing the rear seats require the
use of a different weight and balance chart for calculations? Does it
change the category from/to utility/normal? How is performance
affected?

I'm guessing, but if operation with the rear seats removed isn't
mentioned in the POH, it's not approved.

The POH isn't necessarily relavant. My 182 didn't mention a word about
it. The more important document is the equipment list.

Was the revised W&B located in the equipment list also?

I carried one weight and balance form with three W+B scenarios. All
seats in, rear seat removed and rear and copilot seats removed. The
equipment list gave weights and stations for the seats. I used the
station listed but used actual weight since the seats weighed a little
more with the leather interior I had installed.
