The piloting mode and the rest mode are mutually exclusive operating modes. The seat system further includes a control system in electronic communication with the pilot seat and configured to activate the flight controller when the pilot seat is operating in the piloting mode, deactivate the flight controller when the pilot seat is operating in the rest mode. The pilots seats may be utilized in a two-pilot aircraft to provide provisions for pilot rest in an aircraft cockpit.
