7.7 BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT
There are two baggage compartments. One is located in the nose section and it is
accessible through two compartment doors.
The other baggage compartment is behind the seat backs of the rear seats. Baggage
may be loaded there provided it is restrained by means of a baggage net.
7.8 CANOPY, REAR DOOR, AND CABIN INTERIOR
Front Canopy
The front canopy is closed by pulling down on the canopy frame, following which it is locked
by means of a handle on the left hand side of the frame. On locking, steel bolts lock into
mating holes in polyethylene blocks.
“Cooling gap” position: A second setting allows the bolts to lock in, leaving a gap under
the forward canopy.
The canopy can be blocked by a locking device on the left side near the canopy opening
lever by turning the key clockwise. The closed and blocked canopy can be opened from
inside by pulling the lever inside the opening handle.
WARNING
The airplane may be operated with the front canopy in the
“cooling gap” position on the ground only. Before take-off the
front canopy must be completely closed and locked.
Do not block the front canopy with the locking key before flight
in order to assure emergency evacuation from outside.
A window on the left and right hand side of the canopy can be opened for additional
ventilation or as an emergency window.
