In an illustrative embodiment, a seating apparatus for positioning at an aisle of an aircraft cabin includes a passenger seat and an armrest assembly mounted adjacent to the passenger seat. The armrest assembly includes a fixed panel adjacent to a seat back that extends along a portion of a seat bottom and a sliding portion that extends from a retracted position where a majority of the sliding panel is parallel to the fixed plane to an extended position where a rear end of the sliding panel is adjacent to a forward end of the fixed panel. A translation assembly slidably connects the sliding panel to the fixed panel to enable the sliding panel to move between the retracted and extended positions. In the extended position, an armrest portion of the fixed panel is flush with an armrest portion of the sliding portion to create an extended panel unit.
