ovation 3 Seat Adjustment

[DContreras96]

New to my Mooney Ovation 3.  I have been playing around with the seat adjustment knobs and levers on the pilot seat.  I cannot find any documentation on the adjustments made by each.  Does anyone know what the seat adjustment knobs do?  Is there some reference document available?  Please forgive my ignorance.  I feel like I'm drinking from a fire hose.

Welcome.  I imagine it would be in the POH, but I have not looked at a newer model version.  I installed some M20M seats in my old J, and the seat pan adjust vertically with the crank arm, and the seat back angle with the knob.  I presume yours are similar.  The horizontal pull lever is used to move it forward and aft.  It might be easier to sit in one seat and adjust the other, while watching the movement.

Thank you.  That sounds similar to mine.

The bar of course is for and aft. The crank handle is up and down, the large knob is seat back recline.

Some may have a lumbar knob that is at the right front corner of the seat as well.

I think I have the lumbar knob as well.  Thank you.
