An aircraft seat system comprising:
- a seat base assembly,
- a seat tracking/swivel assembly fixed to the seat base assembly, and
- a seat bucket frame fixed to the seat tracking/swivel assembly, wherein
- the seat base assembly comprises:
- a pair of lateral support frames,
- a forward cross-support tube and a pair of aft cross-support tubes each being interconnected to the lateral support frames, and
- forward and aft pairs of laterally separated mounting brackets, wherein the forward pair of laterally separated mounting brackets is fixed to the forward cross-support tube, and the aft pair of laterally separated mounting brackets is connected to each one of the pair of aft cross-support tubes.

An aircraft seat system comprising:
- a seat base assembly,
- a seat tracking/swivel assembly fixed to the seat base assembly, and
- a seat bucket frame which includes a pair of spaced apart lateral side plates fixed to the seat tracking/swivel assembly, wherein
- (i) the seat base assembly comprises:
- a pair of lateral support frames,
- a forward cross-support tube and a pair of aft cross-support tubes each being interconnected to the lateral support frames,
- forward and aft pairs of laterally separated mounting brackets, wherein the forward pair of laterally separated mounting brackets is fixed to the forward cross-support tube, and the aft pair of laterally separated mounting brackets is connected to each one of the pair of aft cross-support tubes, and wherein
- (ii) the seat tracking/swivel assembly comprises:
- a swivel base member adapted to being immovably fixed to the laterally spaced apart forward and aft mounting brackets of the seat base,
- a central mounting member that includes a swivel connection block to interconnect the central mounting member to the swivel base member to allow rotational movement of the central mounting member about a substantially vertical axis relative to the immovably swivel base member,
- forward and aft mounting members positioned forward and aft of the central mounting member,
- transverse forward and aft mounting tubes respectively carried by the forward and aft mounting members, each of the forward and aft mounting tubes having opposed terminal ends which include mounting plates that are fixed to a respective one of the lateral side plates of the seat bucket frame, and
- a laterally spaced apart pair of slide tubes slidably received within the central mounting member and connected at forward and aft ends thereof to the forward and aft mounting members.
