Cabin Emergency Hatch. The cabin emer-
gency hatch, placarded EXIT - PULL, is located on
the right cabin sidewall just aft of the copilot’s seat.
2-16
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 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 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.
d. Cabin Door Caution Light. As a safety pre-
caution, two illuminated MASTER CAUTION
lights, on the glare shield and a steadily illuminated
CABIN DOOR yellow caution annunciator light on
the caution/advisory panel indicate the cabin door is
not closed and locked. This circuit is protected by
5-ampere circuit breakers placarded ANN PWR and
ANN IND, located on the overhead circuit breaker
panel (fig. 2-26).

a. Cockpit Window. The pilot and copilot
have side windows, a windshield and storm win-
dows, 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
have two-ply construction, are of the pressure type
and are integral parts of the pressure vessel. All
cabin windows are painted over except for the win-
dow farthest aft on the right side and the window
farthest aft on the left side. All unpainted windows
have flaps which may be raised to permit visibility
or lowered to black out the windows.
2-11. SEATS.
a. Pilot and Copilot Seats. The pilot and copi-
lot seats (fig. 2-10) are separated from the cabin by
