EMERGENCY EXIT
DESCRIPTION
The emergency exit is located over the wing on the right side of the aircraft. The emergency exit is a Type III escape hatch
that measures 20 inches wide by 36 inches high and weighs approximately 45 lbs. The emergency hatch is a removable
plug-type hatch, held in place by a two-pin locking mechanism and by the force of cabin pressure. A security pin can be
installed on the inside of the aircraft at one of the locking pins to prevent unauthorized entry from the outside. The security
pin has a small flag attached which states REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT.
NOTE: The emergency hatch can be opened and removed from inside or outside of the aircraft, but must be installed
from inside the aircraft.
COMPONENTS AND OPERATION
INSIDE REMOVAL
To remove the hatch from inside the aircraft, use the upper latch handle placarded EXIT-PULL. Remove the cover from
the latch handle and pull the spring-loaded handle inward to retract the locking pins in the top of the hatch. Rotate the hatch
downward into the aircraft, (approximately 12 inches). Using the latch handle and the handhold lift the hatch upward and
away from the hinges at the bottom of the hatch. Place the hatch clear of the exit to allow passage.
