c. Cabin Door Annunciator. As a safety
precaution, two flashing yellow 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 overhead circuit breaker panel (fig.
2-9).
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
may be opened on the ground or during unpressurized
flight.
b. 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.

adjustment handle is located beneath the lower front
outboard corner of each seat. Pulling up on the handle
