Considering that you have to remove the aft seat pan to do the condition inspection, what have you done to provide the pressure sealing of the pan to the LG Box?
Giff,
I'd recommend you make the pressure control box removable. Access through this hole, plus access panels for the two MLG trunion grease fittings, are all you would normally need for condition inspections. Pictures of my rear seat bottom attached. Note that I also made a 4" diameter hole in the left side of the rear seat bottom with an aluminum plate to cover it. This plate is held in place by a cross bar on the bottom side, and is removable from either inside the cabin or through the left main gear door. This access panel allows you to pass tools into the cockpit if needed. I also recommend you carry a small Phillips screwdriver and a 1/2" box/open end wrench in the cockpit at all times. This should allow you to open the cabin door when the latching mechanism fails...which it will do, sooner or later.
