Seat Slip
When my 80-H was in for annual this year it failed the track test, so I had the pilot side tracks replaced. Later when I was underneath the seat trying to hook up my fire-extinguisher I noticed that only one pin was locked in the track and the other was off by 1/2 of a hole. Very strange ! as it was perfect during the reinstall of the seats.
I had thus been flying it with one pin out of the track hole, but didn't know it, as it appeard to lock in place while in the seat.
After removal of the seat I found that one of the pins in the pivot point of the seat back had sheared. So when the seat back was cranked back a bit, it torqued the latch pins out of parallel allignment.
Put in a new pin, and it works perfectly
