Because of the fact that light aircraft cockpits were designed when pilots were restrained by a lap belt only, the recent use of firm upper torso restraint has introduced a problem of control accessibility. Therefore, a determinination of the functional arm reach boundaries for the Australian male and female pilot populations has been made and certain structural anthropometric measurements have been recorded. The apparatus used, the experimental procedure and the various percentiles of thumb tip arm reach are described in this report. These data should provide information for the design or modification of restraint systems and of cockpits which will allow manipulation of manual controls by all pilots while effectively restrained.
