Seat Belt Extenders
I regularly fly Angel Flight missions and occasionally I take
passengers who are rather obese. The airlines have seat belt extenders for passengers who do not fit comfortably in a regularly lap belt. I think that in these cases a similar extension would make my passengers more comfortable. Is anyone aware of a source for this seemingly simple device? |

I feel embarrassed to play the role of wet blanket here, BUT.... Be aware
that besides overall weight and balance there are airplanes that have maximum weights that can be put in a seat and still have the seat and/or the floor of the airframe meet certification requirements... Not a big deal for me flying a friend around, but where you are holding yourself out to the public it could become an issue... Denny "Edward Todd" wrote in message ... In article , (M.E.

check with wag-aero. They can make an extender if they don't have
any handy. I had all new/refurb seatbelts by them when I bought the shoulder harnesses from them. I specifically asked for longer-than-standard (whatever that it) seatbelts because I often fly with portly friends. |
