Abstract

There is provided an aircraft folding seat, comprising a frame which pivots about a vertical axis and on which are mounted a seat-rest and a back-rest. The flight deck provided comprises control and/or viewing devices, at least one seat, an access door and a corridor for access to the at least one seat which is closed at its opposite end to the at least one seat by the access door. A folding seat is mounted in the corridor such that it can pivot and adopt a first position in which it closes the corridor so forming a lock enclosure with the access door and a folded back second position enabling access to the at least one seat from the corridor.
