the lever on the seat belt buckle.
7.9 SLIDING CANOPIES
The Searey aircraft can be flown with the sliding canopies in any position.
It should be noted that if the canopies are fully opened in flight some
minor buffeting may occur from disturbance to the airflow to the propeller
and elevator system. It is recommended that the canopies remain in the
closed but not locked position for all takeoff and landing.
7.10 CONTROL LOCKS
The Searey does not have a control lock device. However, if the aircraft
is parked in the outdoors, it is desirable that the seat belts or a bungee
cord are used to secure the control column and rudder.
