Ingress/Egress: The seats in Cirrus aircraft are
made of special energy-absorbing material, which
if pressed on with a focused point, such as a knee or
a foot, will lose its absorbent qualities over time, so
don’t place a knee on the seat or stand on the seat.
Also, be careful as you settle into the seat as the
center console is not designed to withstand heavy
side-loading.
Cup Holders: There
are folding cup holders
for both the front and
rear seats. They can be
easily damaged if
stepped on, so please
keep them folded away
when not in use.
The new 2016 door latches are easier to close and
latch more securely. They do not require the same
force that the older doors needed. Simply pull the
door in and once the latches engage you can push
down on the lever to lock. Over time you may find
just the right amount of “pull” allow the latches to
secure themselves. As always, pull perpendicular to
the hinges, at a 45-degree angle, not parallel to the
ground.
Before attempting to close the doors, look to make sure all belts, buckles, headset
cables and fingers are clear of the door frame. Doors do require a solid pull but they do
not need to be slammed.
Practice closing the door a few times and BEFORE the engine is running so you
have a smooth technique. DO NOT COMMENCE YOUR TAKE-OFF ROLL IF THE
DOORS ARE NOT SECURED. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE THE DOORS ONCE
IN FLIGHT. IF ENOUGH RUNWAY REMAINS, CONDISER AN ABORT, BUT THE
PLANE WILL FLY WITH THE DOOR OPEN, SO REMEMBER…
1/ FLY THE PLANE, 2/ FLY THE PLANE AND 3/ FLY THE PLANE!
