Entrance is gained to the cockpit from the trailing edge of the wing. A step
area on the wing is provided to assist in the safe entry/exit of the aircraft.
Cockpit
Check:-
*
Fuel selector valve to “
MAIN
”.
*
Glass fuel in-line filter for water and contamination.
*
All instruments and controls for damage.
Note:
Always brief passenger to step off the wing towards the tail on
departing the aircraft, never forward towards the propeller.
The gull wing doors are supported on gas shock struts in the open position.
The aircraft may be taxied in calm conditions with the doors open where
large power inputs are
not
necessary. In gusty or soft, wet grass conditions
where large power inputs are necessary to start the aircraft moving it is
prudent to close the canopy. This is also wise in dry dusty conditions when
dry grass and debris may be blown into the cockpit area by the propeller.
Pilot position
The Europa is designed to accommodate pilots up to 6’4" (1.93m) in height
in comfort. Shorter pilots can fly the aircraft but they must sit on cushions
to bring their eye level up to that of a tall pilot.
Note:
When seated in the Europa
all
pilots must have a maximum
clearance of (2.5cm) 1" between the top of their heads and the canopy.
