38. I was loading it into a Piper PA-28
It was a folding chair and this is how to do it:

  1. After doing the pre-flight checklist, unlock the cockpit and open the door;

  2. Toss a spare cushion onto the wing just past the aileron;

  3. Remove the wheelchair's leg rests and put them on the wing;

  4. Transfer to the wing;

  5. Remove the cushion from the wheelchair and toss it inside;

  6. Fold the chair;

  7. Slide up the wing near the leading edge;

  8. Turn the chair and grab the handles;

  9. Tilt back and pull the chair up onto the wing;

  10. Maneuver it through the door and into the back seat;

  11. Get into the cockpit;

  12. Attach the hand-controls to the rudder pedal downtubes on the passenger side;

  13. Get ready for flight.
