Scope
This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) defines acceptable methods for determining the seat reference point (SRP), and the documentation requirements for that determination, for passenger and crew seats in Transport Aircraft, Civil Rotorcraft, and General Aviation Aircraft.
Rationale
The methods for determining the Seat Reference Point (SRP) for aircraft seats were originally contained in AS8049 and were recently moved to ARP5526. The SRP is a feature of the seat that is used in multiple SAE aircraft seat documents, as well as regulatory standards and guidance. These methods should be located in a separate document, where they can be referenced by other documents, maintained independent of changes to other documents and eventually stabilized. The method used for determining the Buttock Reference Point (BRP) for aircraft seats has not been clearly defined, is a feature that is used in multiple documents, and should also be located in this document.

Issuing Committee
The Aerospace Council of SAE established the Aircraft Seat Committee (SEAT) in 1997 to address technical issues related to the design and/or performance of aircraft seating systems. The seating systems include crew, flight attendants, and passenger seats installed in Civil Rotorcraft, Transport Aircraft, and General Aviation Aircraft.
A list of the technical reports developed by the SEAT Committee can be obtained by searching on 'aircraft seat' and selecting 'standards', from the SAE Home Page. SEAT StandardsReference

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
