yellow
caution
annunciator on the caution/ advisory panel indicate the
cabin door is not closed and locked. The two
5-ampere circuit breakers, placarded ANN POWER

breaker panel protect this circuit, Figure 2-6.
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 that 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.
