The seating in the helicopter was executive-style seating with two crew seats and club seating in the rear cabin of the helicopter. The leather used for the seat upholstery in the helicopter was Italian brown leather (7748). The leather has a strong grain and is very supple in feel, which ensures a very good-fitting cover.

The seat covers are stitched with decorative double stitching on the outer seams of the cover in a matching thread. The covers feature a double diamond quilting pattern in the center inserts. The crew seats and aft-facing seats have back-to-back headrests that match the seating.

The trims that were wrapped included the armrests, the door inserts, and the armrest between the aft-facing seats. All these parts are wrapped in the same leather as the seats with the same matching double stitching on the seams for continuity.
