I have read a lot of posts that seem to mention various seating arrangements while IMC. Up until reading these posts, I never thought of this. Now, I really think there may be something to it. Some have mentioned sitting down low to see as much of the panel possible, and other's have mentioned leaning back in the seat. I think these are all good ideas, and I am going to try to tweak them for my unique position. That position being that I am 6'5. I fly a Piper Arrow, and I lowered the seat as much as I could, but I was still looking way over the top of the panel. I have not tried to lean back in the seat more, but I will definitley give it a try.
