An aircraft seat 1 has a backrest 6 and footrest7 that are movable between a reclined position and a Taxi, Take-off or Landing (TTL) position by means of actuators 3a,3b via a control panel 9. The actuators include position encoders for producing a position signal indicating if the seat is in the TTL position. The seat also has an occupancy sensor 10 for producing an occupancy signal indicating if the seat is occupied. The seat also has a seat belt 12 and includes a seat belt sensor 14 for producing a seat belt signal indicating if the seat belt buckle 13 is fastened. The signals produced by the position and condition sensors are fed to a controller 5 which is configured to determine if the seat is ready for taxi, take-off or landing. |
