Section 7 

–

 Airplane Systems Description & Operation 

 

Introduction to Section 7 

To develop good flying technique you must first have a general working knowledge of 
the several systems and accessories of your aircraft. Section 7 describes the aircraft 
systems and their operation. 

Airframe 

The Travelair is an all-metal four-place low wing monoplane. The airframe is a 
semimonocoque structure of aluminum, magnesium alloy, and alloy steel riveted and spot 
welded for maximum strength. Structural components will withstand flight loads in 

excess of the FAA requirements for “normal” category, under which the Model D95 and 

E95 are certified. 
 

Cabin Doors and Windows 

Access to the main cabin is through the single entry door on the right side of the fuselage. 
Access to the door is via a step at the trailing edge of the right wing and a walkway on the 
top of the right wing and wing flap. It is safe to step on the marked walkway on the flap 
only when the flap is retracted. 
 
There is a storm window on the left side of the cabin through which the pilot can reach to 
remove ice from the windshield in an emergency. The storm window must not be opened 
in flight above 126 KIAS. 
 

 

Storm Window 
 

Baggage Compartments 

There are two baggage compartments; one is in the nose cone, the other is in the main 
cabin behind the passenger seats.
