I recently completed a test fit of my cockpit interior and instrument panel. This was the first time I got in and actually sat on the seats and looked at the range of the control column for interference, my reach to the various switches, and my eye-line over the cowl ect. Everything is fine, but the one thing that struck me was how difficult it was to climb in. Perhaps awkward is a better term.
It seems that central issue is the lack of a forward hand hold for support while lowering oneself into the seat. I don't want to grip the top of the panel. I'm just curious if anyone else thinks this is a problem at all. Where are the best places to hold for ingress/egress?
