Cabin Door Annunciator. As a safety
precaution,
two
illuminated
MASTER
CAUTION
annunciators in the glare shield and a steadily
illuminated CABIN DOOR amber caution annunciator on
the caution/advisory panel indicate the cabin door is not
closed and locked. This circuit is protected by the two,
5-ampere circuit breakers, placarded ANN PWR and
ANN IND located on the over-head circuit breaker panel
(fig. 2-7).
d.
Cabin Emergency Exit Hatch. The cabin
emergency hatch, placarded EXIT - PULL, is located on
the right cabin sidewall just aft of the copilot's seat. The
hatch may be released from the inside with a pull-down
handle. A flush-mounted, pull out handle allows the
hatch to be released from the outside. The hatch is of
the non-hinged plug type which removes completely
from the frame when the latches are released. The
hatch can be key locked from the inside to prevent
opening from the outside. The inside handle will unlatch
the escape hatch whether or not it is locked, by
overriding the locking mechanism. The keylock should
be unlocked prior to flight to allow removal of the
escape hatch from the outside in the event of an
emergency. The key remains in the lock when the hatch
is locked and can be removed only when the hatch is
unlocked. The key slot is in the vertical position when
the hatch is unlocked. Removal of the key from the lock
before flight assures the pilot that the hatch can be
removed from the outside if necessary.

side windows, a windshield, and storm windows, which
provide visibility from the cockpit The storm windows

Cabin Windows. The outer cabin windows,
constructed of two-ply stretched acrylic, are of the
pressure type and are an integral part of the pressure
vessel. The windows have flaps which may be removed
to permit visibility or installed to black out the windows.
2-11. SEATS.

Pilot's and Copilot's Seats. The controls for
vertical height adjustment and fore and aft travel are
located under each seat. The forward and aft
adjustment handle is located beneath the lower front
inboard comer of each seat. Pulling up on the handle
allows the seat to move fore or aft. The height
adjustment handle is located beneath the lower front
outboard comer of each seat. Pulling up on the handle,
allows the seat to move up and down. Both seats have
adjustable headrests and armrests which will raise and
lower for access to the cockpit. Handholds on either
side of the overhead panels and a fold-away protective
pedestal step are provided for pilot and copilot entry into
the cock-pit. For the storage of maps and the operator's
manual pilot's and copilot's seats have an inboard-
slanted expandable pocket affixed to the lower portion
of the seat back. Pocket openings are held closed by
shock cord tension (fig. 2-10).
