Venting system
Cockpit ventilation is ensured by two eyeball (2) or automotive (3) air vents located in the
cockpit on side panels of the instrument panel (see Fig. 13-1). Air inlets
– Naca scoops (1)
are located on both fuselage sides in front of the canopy. There is a composite part connected
to the Naca scoop from inside the cockpit and a flexible hose is used to connect the air vent
with the composite part.

Heating system
Cockpit heating is ensured by hot air from the heat exchanger (see Fig. 13-2). The heat
exchanger (1) is located on the muffler (2). Ambient inlet air taken by the muffler (2) is heated
in the heat exchanger (1) and supplied through control flap (3) located on the firewall into the
cockpit by air hose (4). Quantity of hot air is regulated by
HEATING
knob (5) on the
instrument panel. Behind the firewall is located mixture flap (6), which splits hot air flow into
the canopy bubble outlet (7) and into the crew legs outlet (8).
