An aircraft seat includes a primary seating section including a primary seat pan (106) and seatback (104). The aircraft seat further includes one or more deployable armrest assemblies (108), where each armrest assembly is configured to actuate between a stowed and deployed position. Each armrest assembly includes an actuator sub-system (120) including a locking assembly (201) and an actuator (204). Each armrest assembly further includes an armrest attaching panel (122). When the armrest assemblies are positioned in the deployed position, the armrest assemblies form an auxiliary seating section, where the armrest attaching panel is configured as an auxiliary seat pan. When the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the actuator actuates the armrest assemblies to the deployed position. The auxiliary and primary seat pan form a wide seating surface when in the deployed position. A top surface of the auxiliary seat pan is substantially flush with a top surface of the primary seat pan cushion.
