Accommodation etc.
The cockpit has accommodation for two pilots and
one observer.
The observer seat is of a folding type and can be
removed when not in use. It is provided with an in-
ertia reel shoulder harness.
The cockpit windows are fixed. A ground commu-
nication hatch is on the left side of the fuselage be-
low the side windshield.
As an alternate emergency exit from the cockpit, a
hatch is located in the cockpit ceiling. This hatch
can also be used for ventilation on the ground.
The cockpit is also provided with two adjustable
sun

visors.
A sun
−
visor must never be folded in a position
blocking the handgrips in the cockpit ceiling. This
is to facilitate quick access to the grip should a
seat runaway occur.
