That’s the Bombardier Q400 up and running.

I understand there remains a few old Airbus configurations I have not covered but these aircraft appear to be parked. What are the chances of them re-entering service in their current condition?

I wouldn't worry about them.

Looks great! I suggest updating the About Us page to also include this forum in the "Useful resources" section 😉

Did you consider some sort of indicator for seats that have their tray table in the armrest?
When I was training to fly airplanes, I learned Location of Personnel Accommodations (LOPA) at the flight school but in the airline industry it’s Layout of Passenger Accommodations (LOPA).

I read here that the 737-900 and 737-900ERs all received compact lavatories during the last refit cycle, so my thinking is including the 7M9 all three aircraft share a common seat layout. What surprised me is the diversity of seat pitches present in the 16F 162M configuration.

For example, here are the row pitch measurements in the 737-900ER cabin currently mapped
First class rows 1 to 4: pitch = 39.5"
Premium class rows 6 to 9: pitch = 34.5"
Main cabin rows 10 to 15: pitch = 31"
Overwing exit rows 16 and 17: pitch = 37.5"
Port side (ABC) rows 17 to 32: pitch = 32"
Starboard side (DEF) rows 17 to 34: pitch = 30.5"

Note, the Premium Class seats are indicated with "Khaki" accents
I can't seem to find this seat pitch information the webste LOPA? ow does it display? Is this a mouse over thing?
The 737-900 has indeed different seatpitch depending on whether you are right or left of the aisle. Great to finally see someone going through the painful exercise of actually providing accurate seating information (unlike seatguru that give averages). The left and right sides are notably different and a world of difference comfort-wise.

I would love to have also information about the rows where the sidepanels protrude over the window seat at the shoulder level i.e. 3 to 5 inches in front of the front of the reclined seat. This is super annoying and reduces de facto usable shoulder width for window seats. No seating website provdes this information.

It looks to me that seat numbers are off for the E175. On the seat map for my upcoming flight, rows 6-8 are premium class, and economy is 9-21.

Short narratives have been appended to each seat map which include seat product and info, plus dimensions etc. The new F seat (Recaro CL4710) also received some minor cosmetic changes - added cup holders, and the E175 row numbers have been corrected.

Thanks for a great site! Just a couple observations:

1. As I'm sure you're aware, the Q400 page doesn't have any seat description information. I know I depend a lot on seat width, in particular, to determine whether a particular seat will be comfortable (I'm tall but with disproportionately short legs so pitch isn't usually a problem, but there's nothing I can do about broad shoulders!).

2. I think the overhead bin description for the E175 might be a bit optimistic. Unless things have changed in the last10 months, the overhead in F is smaller on the left side of the plane (yes, a 22" bag could fit, but only if it's loaded longitudinally).

I added a short description of the Q400 cabin

76 B/E Aerospace Model-945 seats arranged in pairs
Seat width: 16.8”
Pitch: 31”
Recline: 1.2”
The description of the E175 overhead bins came straight from Embraer’s site but I appreciate this would apply only to the main cabin. I will do some research into the F cabin lockers and try to make a clear informative distinction

This is surprising to me as well, at least the part about port seats in Main having noticeably greater pitch than starboard seats. I'd never heard mention of this discrepancy before. But I guess I will need to remember to favour the left side of the plane whenever I'm in Main.

Also, it looks like you need to make a minor correction in the table above. Row 17 shows up as both an exit row as well as a non-exit row. I noticed the repeated row 17 for each of 737-900, 737900ER, and 737-MAX9.

I'm impressed by the detail, however, please note that the Q400 seats offer NO RECLINE.
They are fixed in place.
They also offer no window sun shades, nor lavatory sinks, but that's another story.

FYI: the Q400 gallery page still shows the E175 as the title.
