    The applicability list identifies AP-BHI. Pages 66-68 publish the 48-passenger row table (row 1 right pair, rows 2-12 four abreast, row 13 left pair), a 29/30/33-inch pitch range, and the general cabin monument and exit layout.

    The cited layout is an operational weight-and-balance drawing, not a customer seat-selection map; it establishes installed seats and monuments but does not publish traveler-facing seat features.

  • Planespotters.netINDEPENDENT SOURCERetrieved Jul 20, 2026

    The AP-BHI airframe record, last updated 2 May 2026, identifies the ATR 42-500 as active with Y48.

    Used only for dated active-fleet status and installed class totals as indexed through 2026-05-02. Direct raw retrieval is anti-bot challenged, so this citation is retained without a local snapshot under the documented search-index exception. Fleet counts can change during PIA's privatization transition.

How this map was built

PIA's current Revision 14 manual identifies AP-BHI in the applicability list, explicitly enumerates two passengers on the right at row 1, four at rows 2-12, and two on the left at row 13, and labels the general layout as 48 passengers at 29, 30 and 33 inches. Exact row-specific pitch assignments are not labeled, so the published range is attached to the seat type rather than guessed per row. Front baggage, forward Type III emergency exits, the rear entry/service doors, galley, lavatory and baggage are read from the PIA drawing. aircraft.windowGridType is omitted because SeatRecon has no exact ATR 42 engineering window grid; window seats remain unknown.
