Canopy
The cockpit canopy consists of one part. The windshield is bonded on the composite frame.
The canopy is hinged forward and opens upside-forward directions with the assistance of gas struts that
counterbalance the weight of the canopy and hold the canopy open. Access to the cockpit is from both sides.
Canopy handle and lock levers are located in the center of canopy frame above the pilot / co-pilot. Canopy handle is
used for lifting and closing the canopy from interior. The locking mechanism is used for safe locking of canopy and can
be operated from interior and exterior by lock levers. The lock lever in the interior is equipped with a red ring
indicating locked position of the canopy.
To open the canopy from outside, push the lock lever forwards with one hand (Fig. 7-13, A), grab the NACA intake on
the canopy side with the other hand and pull to lift the canopy. To open the canopy from inside, pull the lock lever
forwards with one hand (Fig. 7-13, A), grab the canopy handle with the other hand and push to lift the canopy.
To close the canopy from outside, grab the canopy handle and pull the canopy downwards until it latches, then press
slightly on the canopy near the lock until the lock lever slides rearwards (Fig. 7-13, B). To close the canopy from inside,
grab the canopy frame with one hand and lower the canopy. Then grab the canopy handle with the other hand and
pull downwards until the lock lever slides rearwards and the red ring indicates correct locking. Push the canopy handle
upwards slightly to ensure the canopy is properly latched and locked (Fig. 7-13, B).
Make sure that the canopy is latched and locked before operating the aircraft. Due to airflow and function of gas
struts the canopy can open spontaneously during straight line flight or sideslip. Correct/incorrect latching and locking
are illustrated on Fig. 7-13.
CAUTION
Do not open/close the canopy by pulling/pushing of the gas struts
or lock lever!
