The rotating and traversing crash attenuating seat was originally designed by Martin-Baker Aircraft Company Limited (MBA) to suit the EC135 helicopter and is certified to TSO C127a. The seat is in service with a number of Police Forces and Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

This lightweight seat offers the user 360° rotation that can be locked in intermediate positions, and fore/aft traverse on standard MS33601 track or aircraft specific floor pallets. The floor fittings allow installation or removal in less than a minute without tools.

The standard seat has a headrest, two armrests, a four-point, single-click harness with rotary quick-release buckle, black harness and blue fabric covers. However, optional features can be introduced to suit operator requirements such as fabric type and colour, harness colour and removal of armrests.

*As with all TSO C127a certifications, the installation is specific to the aircraft type and configuration. However, MBA is experienced at meeting customer specific requirements and obtaining the required certification.
