The most comfortable and safe places on the plane

Like in any other aircraft, the safest seats in the Mitsubishi MU-2 are located in the rear of the cabin as they are further away from the front where the engine is located. Additionally, seats near the cabin exits are also considered safe as they provide quicker access to the exit in case of an emergency.

As for comfort, the most comfortable seats in the Mitsubishi MU-2 are the ones by the windows as they offer a better view of the surrounding world and less engine noise. Additionally, seats in the first row of the cabin can also be comfortable as they provide more legroom and better access to onboard equipment. However, these seats may be less safe in case of an emergency as they are closer to the front of the aircraft.
