The roof of the cabin includes a space between the main longitudinal beams to attach
the transmission pylon mounts. The bottom of the transmission may be accessed through
a removable closeout panel in the headliner. Maintenance platforms are located on
the cabin roof just above each passenger door, and may be reached by way of the wing
surface and convenient fold out steps located between the cabin windows. A kick in
step is found aft of each rear cabin window for easy access to the engine compartments.
The large baggage area has an external door on the right side of the helicopter just
behind the wing. It has a handle and keyed lock which are identical to those on the
cabin doors. There is a hinged / removable partition at the front of the baggage
compartment which may be lifted up and locked in position, or removed when large
cargo is transported.
