## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING THE INSTALLATION OF VERTICAL REFERENCE SEAT KIT, IAW STC SH06-31, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE CYCLIC FLIGHT CONTROL STICK IS INTERFERED WITH DUE TO THE SEAT NOW BEING POSITIONED FURTHER FWD AND ELEVATED BECAUSE OF THE KIT INSTALLATION. AN ELEVATION OF THE INSTALLATION IS ATTACHED TO PROVIDE DETAILS OF THIS ISSUE. THE CYCLIC CONTROL STICK CONTACTS THE SEAT FRAME WHEN THE SEAT IS TILTED. THE CYCLIC CONTROL STICK IS NOT ABLE TO CONTACT THE CONTROL STOP WHEN THE SEAT IS IN THE TILTED POSITION.
