Abstract
A double-shear secured vehicle seating assembly includes an operator seat (e.g., for a pilot or operator of a rotorcraft or like vehicle) and a seat frame structure via which the operator seat is secured to floor tracks in the cabin floor. Floor track grippers attached to the underside of the seat frame structure 'grip' the floor tracks by extending down and around an upper portion of the floor track. The floor track grippers are further united with the floor tracks by locking pins that extend through holes in the grippers as well as the floor track itself, which includes a rail and a plurality of evenly spaced holes extending through the rail. The locking pin fully pierces the floor track gripper on a first side, fully piercing the aligned hole in the rail, and at least partially piercing the floor track gripper on the opposing side, creating the double-shear condition.
