rear seat removal

Post by T. C. Downey »

once upon a time I had a copy of the letter of authorization for the pilot to remove the rear seat.

Can some one please point me to the link to that letter?

or provide a copy to nc19143@comcast.net

Deeply grateful

Tom, here is the letter from FAA Flight Standards Branch, Technical which clarifies and rules that the removal of the rear seat is a Minor Alteration when accompanied by a Wt/Bal computation.
