A seat system for an aircraft including a pilot seat configured to operate in a piloting mode and in a rest mode. The pilot seat includes a dual function component configured to function as a flight controller when the pilot seat is operating in the piloting mode and a rest surface when the pilot seat is operating in the rest mode. 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.
