Seating, Storage, and Miscellaneous:

The cabin seating arrangement consists of a forward four‐place club seating group followed by a left‐hand four‐place conference/dining group opposite a credenza, and the aft cabin features two opposing three‐place berthing divans (the forward seat on each divan is not certified for occupancy during TT&L). The main cabin’s individual and double seats offer varying degrees of swivel, tracking, recline and berthing capabilities, as well as four‐way electric lumbar, articulating seat pans, and either dual or center retractable armrests. The forward cabin’s two forward‐facing seats feature recliner type leg rests. Each divan manually tracks inward approximately 12” and features a center seat fold‐down seat back cushion with a snack table
built into the back with two cup holders, as well as two fold‐down armrests.

A bulkhead with a solid pocket door separates the forward cabin from the galley and crew rest area, a wooden bulkhead with stowable curtain separates the mid and aft cabins, and a hinged door separates the aft cabin from the aft lavatory. The cockpit features a left‐hand convertible crew closet with a removable forward bulkhead allowing for the pilot seat to recline. The right‐hand forward crew rest area is approximately 78” long and features a single seat with berthing capability and a foot rest, stowing privacy curtains, and two windows. A fold‐down coat rod provides storage when the crew rest is not used by a crew member. In addition to the aft lavatory closet and baggage compartment, there are various storage drawers, side ledge boxes, tracking magazine racks, a mid‐cabin credenza with multiple storage drawers, and divan armrest storage cabinets. Folding, stowing console tables are located at each pair of individual cabin seats, and the dining/conference table features electric telescoping, manual folding leaves, and a manual tracking table top with a 12” plug extension. The main cabin features EMTEQ LED lighting and there are 115 VAC outlets in various locations throughout the cabin.

Cabin Management & Entertainment:

Rockwell Collins’ Falcon Cabin Management System (FCMS) is installed along with optional PSW Color OLED Entertainment Controls in lieu of the standard LCD controls. The FCMS audio/video equipment consists of multiple individual passenger control units and headset jacks, two additional PSW Color OLED Entertainment Controls, a DTSystems cabin audio system, a dual CD/DVD/MP3 player, one FWD R/H bulkhead‐mounted 21.3” color LCD monitor, one L/H forward‐face mid‐to‐aft cabin bulkhead‐mounted 17” color LCD monitor, one auxiliary cabin audio/video interface (RCA style A/V jacks that work with compatible devices such as iPods and MP3 players), and an Airshow® 4000 in‐flight information system with a Flight Deck Controller.

Communications & Data:

An Aircell Axxess II Iridium® Satcom and a Honeywell MCS‐7120 Inmarsat Satcom provide satellite voice calling capabilities via multiple handsets located throughout the cockpit and cabin. The MCS‐7120 contains an HD‐710 providing SwiftBroadband internet data via Ethernet ports and available Wi‐Fi.
