SUBJECT:
Installation of canopy lock with safety latch and sensor.
AFFECTED:
All aircraft WT-9 Dynamic.
REASON:
When improper execution of canopy latching and locking point during before takeoff procedure, the canopy
may not be properly locked. The main latch is only partially plugged-in the canopy lock socket what may
result under certain conditions in canopy opening during flight.
COMPLIANCE:
Optional.
WEIGHT AND BALANCE:
REQUIRED ACTION:
Install new canopy lock with safety latch and sensor, that minimize the risk of canopy opening during flight
by two ways:
• Indication of insufficient plug-in of main latch (check lamp on the instrument panel)
• Safety latch holding the main latch after plug-out from the canopy lock socket.
The system of canopy lock with a sensor indicates insufficiently locking of the canopy and the safety latch
prevents unintentional opening of the canopy. The system does not substitute properly execution
of canopy latching and locking point during before takeoff procedure!
In the case of installation difficulties contact the aircraft manufacturer at service@aerospool.sk.
