Aircraft Overview
Citation Bravo
Developed for Training Purposes
5A-9
July 2004
The pilot and copilot side windows, aft
of the windshields on each side of the
fuselage, consist of a 0.46- inch thick
prestressed Plexiglas outer pane, an air
space, a 0.25-inch thick pre-stressed
Plexiglas middle pane and a 0.060
inch thick acrylic frost pane.
The pilot’s foul weather window
(
Figure 5A-6
), on the left side
between the windshield and the
pilot’s side window, provides venti-
lation and access for a ground heat-
ing/cooling hose. It also enables the
pilot to communicate with ground
crew personnel. The foul weather
window consists of three laminated
layers: an outer panel of stretched
acrylic 0.276-inch thick; a vinyl
layer 0.05 inch thick; a middle panel
of stretched acrylic 0.092 inch thick
and an inner 0.060 inch thick acrylic
frost pane. The window opens
inward by releasing a latch at the top
(
Figure 5A-7
) and lowering the pane
on its bottom mounted hinge (
Figure
5A-8
). The latch assembly contains a
ball detent locking mechanism to
prevent accidental opening of the
window. To operate the latch,
depress the spring-loaded button on
the latch to release the lock and
rotate the handle from the hook.
Entrance Door
The flush-fitting entrance door on
the left forward side of the aircraft
(
Figure 5A-9
) incorporates the for-
ward cabin window. The door key-
locks from the outside and attaches
to the fuselage by a single hinge.
An extruded rubber weather seal is
around the outer edge of the door
except in the hinge area where a rain
seal is installed. An additional inflat-
able door seal of molded rubber is in
a retainer that forms a continuous
ring around the door.
