FWD baggage compartment door
The FWD baggage compartment door is located on the airplane left side
between the firewall and the front pressure bulkhead. It is hinged at the top. It
is maintained in the up position by a compensation rod. Two
interlocking--type latches ensure its closing and it may be equipped with a
lock (same key as for the access door). When the door is closed, latches are
flush with the fuselage profile.
Windows
Windows do not open. The windshield consists of two parts, the pilot’s one
being electrically deiced. The R. H. one may be optionally deiced.
Emergency exit
(Figure 7.3.2)
The emergency exit is installed on the right side of the fuselage and opens
towards the inside. It is equipped with two handles, one inside and the other
outside, each located on the upper frame.
When the airplane is parked, the closing system may be locked by a safety
pin provided with a flag marker. The handle is then inoperable.
WARNING
TAXIING AND FLYING WITH THIEF--PROOF SAFETY PIN INSTALLED
IS FORBIDDEN.
To open the emergency exit, pull one of the two handles and tilt the
emergency exit from top to bottom towards inside of airplane.
