PAC Aerospace completed fabrication and delivery of custom seating for four private 747-8s, the Florida-based company announced last month. The aircraft required more than 460 seats, 99 percent of them with full motorized operation, including track-and-swivel, slouching with leg rests, and six different types of lie-flat deluxe sleeper seats, as well as berthing divans. The projects required 17 new 16g certifications for forward, aft, side-facing and angled installations.

The company also provided the undisclosed completion centers with head injury criteria tests for each aircraft’s interior design and detailed components maintenance manuals and illustrated parts list documentation for each seat type.
