This project was for a flight school in the United States of America. The aircraft was a Diamond DA-20, the ideal trainer with its modern avionics interface. The interior parts supplied included new sheepskin covers for the seats, new leather control stick boots, and new floor coverings.

The DA-20 aircraft comes with two options for the seating, either leather or sheepskin. The replacement seat covers were manufactured using pelts of sheepskin in Oxford grey. The sheepskin is an ideal material for high-use seats and is predominantly used on the crew seating of commercial airliners.

The control stick boots are normally incorporated in the leather bucket seats, while on the sheepskin seats, these are supplied as separate parts. The boots are manufactured using ancient grey leather (ADI-1151). The floor coverings in this aircraft only included the footwell mats. The flooring was supplied in the popular Genflor Zimmer (WN-120) carpet and was supplied with a self-adhesive velcro to secure it to the airframe.
