CAPS™ Safety Pin: Once you remove the
parachute safety pin you may wish to pass the
ignition key through the ring on the safety pin prior to
inserting it into the ignition switch. This does two
things…first it prevents the keys from scratching the
instrument panel in turbulence and it ensures that
everyone on board can clearly see that the CAPS™
pin is removed prior to flight.
You may also choose to reposition the CAPS™
handle cover back on the rear-most Velcro tabs so
the CAPS™ handle remains visible to all occupants
at all times. Remember that the CAPS™ handle
cover is a required placard and must also remain
visible to all occupants.
Avoid placing headsets, knee boards or any
other items on the glare shield. It's just too easy
for them to slip off and scratch either the Garmin
screens or to slide forward and scratch the inside of
the windshield.
If you are using Bose headsets with the single multi-pin connector, be sure the indicator,
either a red dot, a white dot or a pair of white arrows, is aligned towards the tail of the
aircraft or “6 O'clock” position.
DO NOT FORCE THE CONNECTOR INTO THE SOCKET. If it's properly aligned it will
slide in and latch easily
