CANOPY - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1.
A.
The canopy consists of a frame fabricated from carbon fiber laminate and rovings, and a large one-
piece acrylic glass window which are bonded together. The window has two direct-vision panels,
one on each side. The direct-vision panels can be opened in flight.
The canopy is mounted to a tubular steel frame at the front. The frame attaches to two hinges on
the rear face of the firewall. The canopy moves up and forward to open. A gas strut will help
raise the canopy to the full up position and holds the canopy open.
B.
The canopy latching mechanism is shown in figure 201. It incorporates two latching pins, one on
each side, and a inner and a outer door handle in the left canopy frame. Rotating the door handle
from inside or outside of the aircraft, either inserts or retracts the two latching pins into or out of
receivers on the fuselage. The right pin operates synchronously by push-pull cable that goes
inside the canopy frame. Roll pins hold the latch in fully latched position.
