Want room for skis, snowboards and dead hookers. Does anyone make a split seat so I can put 3 people plus long cargo? Thanks

I have these in my plane. Perfect for extra room and weight savings.
If you do a lot of long cross country flying with passengers in the back, you could probably find something more comfortable.

Both Atlee Dodge in Anchorage and BAS, Inc sell folding rear seats. They attach to side walls, and floor, and fold up more or less flat against the side wall. Easy to convert from four seats to three to two. An added bonus is that the floor attach brackets then make great cargo tiedowns.

Try the "Kenmore Air Harbor " STC for back seats out of 206/210 on seat rails. Much more comfort able than Atlee Dodge or BAS jump seats. 2 back seats that can be removed or 1 or 2 at a time in or out. I've got this in my 56 182.

I think LakeVue Aeronautics now owns the BAS folding seat STC.

I didn't know this STC was applicable to 182's but if it is, I would give this some serious thought. Seats come out as fast as you can slide them fwd, and when you want a 2 pax ship, the weight of the seats is gone, not just folded up.

Take care, Rob

Looks like old front seats from your 180 with seat rails.

Kenmore 206 rear seat in the 180 is tied into the factory seaplane kit structure. You'd have to install those half formers under the floor to make it legal. Would require a field approval methinks because those are C-180 part numbers, should be an easy one to get tho...

Correct on the formers. Other than that it spells out the rail spacing, but does not call out a seat part number, which leaves plenty of leeway as to which Cessna seat ends up in there. In fact it is incorrectly titled "206 rear seat STC" because the 206 rear seats are about the only ones that won't work.

Yes, the seats required are from a 206, just the middle row, not the aft set. There are required part numbers:1214008, 1200605 and a few others I can dig up if necessary, basically '64 to '84 center row utility seats. 100 series Cessna seats won't fit.

Does anyone have a picture of those seats from the rear inside the cargo hold? Could skis or a small surfboard fit under them with four people seated once the extended baggage kit is installed?

I have a 73 182P, and would love to put this rear seat mod in. I contacted Kenmore, as previously stated the STC only covers 180/185. they weren't aware of any 182 installations via 337, but he said doesn't mean there aren't any. Kenmore was helpful and sent drawings to me. they recommended running by local FDSO office before tearing in to get a feel for how receptive they might be. I'm thinking this might be next winter's project on my plane for my mechanic, if he feels the 337 would go.
