Hi Steve, My technique for getting into a Legacy's pilot seat is, as standing on the wing facing the cockpit, bend mostly at the hips and place one's right hand on the top of the structure between the seats (the horizontal structural element that spans the fuselage at about shoulder height when seated), then lift one's right foot off the wing and start moving it toward the footwell. At this point one is being supported by their left leg and right hand/arm braced on the section between the seats -- kind of pivoting in this geometry. As the right leg/foot moves toward the footwell, one's body is naturally rotating toward the seated position and quickly needs support from the left arm/hand which needs to be placed on the fuselage's edge of the cockpit opening about in the middle of the horizontal section and behind one's left leg that's still on the wing -- not in front of the leg. Once the left hand/arm is in position, one is supported by their arms and can place their right foot on the floorboard for support and can then move the right hand/arm down to the center console and then lift their left foot/leg up and over the fuselage sidewall into the cockpit and onto the footwell floorboard as one quickly lowers themselves into the seat by their arms. This technique works well unless the person using it is particular short in height. This is my first time trying to describe it in words as I always just demonstrate it for others who've never "installed themselves" in a Legacy's seat... Hope it makes sense. I think you'll find it easier than the technique I saw demonstrated in the video. Good luck! Valin
