THE PROJECT
This project included Generation Global supplying replacement seat upholstery for a Cessna 152 aircraft. This upholstery kit included supplying new seat dress covers and foam cushions. The seat upholstery was fitted up at Generation Global’s Nelson facility and included refurbishment of the seat frame. The seats were installed in the aircraft and certified under Generation Global’s Part 145 Maintenance Approval. Click here to see these Cessna 152 parts in Generation Global’s online shop.
GALLERY
The seat covers were manufactured in a Navy Blue (ADI-2021) aviation leather and feature a double stitched seam down the centre insert in matching blue thread. The seat cover also features piping on the outer seams of the side bolsters. The seat shaping has been re-designed to give increased comfort with increased lumber and lateral support for the occupants.
