Separable partition assemblies provide privacy between adjoining aircraft cabin sections, e.g., between a main passenger cabin section and a section having an emergency exit and a belted toilet seat such as may be provided in executive aircraft. The separable partition assembly includes a bulkhead structure defining a bulkhead passageway opening to allow passenger egress from one vehicle cabin section to an adjoining vehicle cabin section that is provided with at least one panel sized and configured to close the bulkhead passageway. A nonpermanent mounting system mounts the panel to an inboard edge of the bulkhead structure to allow the at least one panel to be separably uncoupled from the bulkhead structure in response to exertion of a force of predetermined magnitude thereagainst to thereby allow unimpeded passenger egress between the adjoining vehicle cabin sections.

Side-facing belted aircraft seats include a tactile signaling unit to induce movement of the seat occupant. For such purpose, the signaling unit may be provided with a signaling lid covering a female buckle of a lap belt restraint assembly. The signaling lid is moveable between a closed position wherein engagement of a male tab of the lap belt with the female buckle is precluded and an open position wherein engagement of the male tab with the female buckle is allowed. The signaling lid thereby provides tactile stimulation when in the open position thereof to induce the seated occupant to shift on the cushioned seat so that a midsaggital plane of the occupant is aligned with an offset plane of the seat that is offset by a predetermined distance toward one side of the seat relative to a midplane of the seat.
