11.1.2-1 Console Height to See Over

Console height should be no more than approximately 27 inches (68.6 cm) above the seat to accommodate the 5th percentile adult female when a seated user must see over the console. Assuming seat height is adjusted to 18 inches (45.72cm), maximum console height therefore should be 45 inches (114.3cm) above the floor.

Additional Information:
See-over console heights above 45 inches may be acceptable, for example, where the seated user need only monitor (not read) status lights and annunciators beyond the console, if they are at a suitable distance and height.
