    Exit seat armrests

    Best practices, Manual, Operations

    Must armrests in exit seats must be fixed, or is it up to the operator to decide whether the armrests can be of the movable type?

I’m not 100% sure if there is a regulation that requires it, however from a functional standpoint, all exit seat armrests are fixed because they contain the tray used by a passenger seated there.
