7.15 CABIN HEATING AND VENTILATION
7.15.1 REMOVABLE SIDE WINDOWS
The canopy incorporates detachable side windows which can be
removed prior to flight using a simple one-handed latch on the
frame. The windows must either be both in or both out—no single
window operations are permitted. Verify latching during installation
by listening to and feeling the spring-loaded latch click into place.
Installed windows must be correctly latched before flight.
Once the side windows are removed, install the two wind deflectors
provided in the A5 Fly-Away Kit. One wind deflector attaches to
each A-pillar, just above the lower window jamb (“A-pillar” refers to
the frame at the forward side of the window opening with the
window removed). To install, first rest the forward edge of the
deflector on the windshield, then rotate the clip portion of the
deflector around the back of the A-pillar until it snaps into place. The
deflector should be located as low as possible on the A-pillar, with
the deflector’s lower edge just clear of the painted surface of the
lower window jamb. Flight with windows removed is only permitted
with both wind deflectors correctly installed.
Extreme care must be observed so that objects do not pass through
the side windows in flight. The air flowing across the window
opening creates suction within the cockpit that draws air out. This
air flow can entrain loose objects from any location in the cockpit
and can snatch things from the grasp of the unwary. Secure all loose
articles. Wrist lanyards should be used to secure hand held devices
such as phones and cameras.
WARNING
: An object dropped from an open window in
flight can be struck by the propeller and may
result in propeller failure, power loss, or other
extremely hazardous situations.
7.15.2 FRESH AIR VENTS
The A5 has two fresh air vents—one on each side of the instrument
panel. They are hand operated and can be adjusted or closed
completely as needed by turning the knurled rim of each vent.
Vent air entering the aircraft is exhausted through several holes in
the structure ahead of the rudder up near the horizontal tail. This
