(2) Oxygen
For reasons of space, due to the incorporation of the power-plant and
the fuselage tank, only one oxygen bottle can be accommodated in the
ASK 21 Mi, in the baggage compartment. The oxygen bottle fixtures are
only supplied as optional extra and are not provided as standard equip-
ment.
After fitting the oxygen bottle the pilot must make sure that it is securely
seated and that the pin at the front mounting fixture is secured.
Note:
Fitting of an oxygen system changes the empty
mass (weight) C.G. position!
Warning:
Fuel can ignite itself through pure oxygen.
(3) Emergency Location Transmitter
The least vulnerable location in case of accident is the area between the
two drag spar pins at either side of the fuselage.
Therefore, the emergency location transmitter (ELT) should be fitted, in
an appropriate mounting, in the compartment behind the spar tunnel
(e.g. to the left fuselage wall. Control linkage elements and the access
to or ventilation of electric components on the floor must in no case be
impaired.
Depending on the model of the ELT further possible mounting positions
are the fuselage wall above the opening to the wing leading edge bag-
gage compartment, or - in an appropriate mounting - the cross tube at
the rear instrument panel carrier.
Since the center fuselage section contains carbon fibre layers - and car-
bon screens the aerial radiation - the ELT aerial must be fixed in the
canopy area. Yet the aerial must not be fitted direct to the canopy as it
would be separated from the unit in case of a canopy jettisoning
