Let X,Y be Banach spaces, f: X → Y be an isometry with f(0) = 0, and $T: \overline{span}(f(X)) → X$ be the Figiel operator with $T ∘ f = Id_{X}$ and ||T|| = 1. We present a sufficient and necessary condition for the Figiel operator T to admit a linear isometric right inverse. We also prove that such a right inverse exists when $\overline{span}(f(X))$ is weakly nearly strictly convex.
