CAUTION
Switching OFF the ELECTRIC MASTER will lead to total
failure of all electronic and electric equipment. The attitude
and heading reference system (AHRS) will also be affected.
However, by switching the EMERGENCY switch ON, the
emergency battery will supply power to the standby attitude
gyro (artificial horizon) and the flood light.
In case of extreme smoke development, the front canopy may
be unlatched during flight. This allows it to be partially opened,
in order to improve ventilation. The canopy will remain open
in this position. Flight characteristics will not be affected
significantly.
The maximum demonstrated airspeed for emergency opening
the front canopy in flight is 120 KIAS. Do not exceed
120 KIAS.
