I've heard so many values I had to sit in the plane, adjust the (front &
rear) seats and measure my own <grin>. Here's what I'm using for my FAA
inspection with the reference point being the main gear axle:



- Allowable range: 10.5" - 21.9"

- Pilot & copilot: 17" (factory recommends 14.7" so I'm not far
off)

- Rear passengers: 49" (factory recommends 51.4"; again I'm not far
off)

- Main baggage area (which I'm saying is centered on bulkhead A:
79" (the factory says 65"-which is basically where Station 8 is!!-I sure
don't get the factory 65" value since the baggage area extends all the way
back to the door/bulkhead B-which is itself at approximately 88"!!!!)

- Extended baggage area (floor I added between bulkhead C &
bulkhead E-so centered on D): 116"

Xcel format.
