7.6 Seats and safety harness
Both seats have standard adjustable 5-point aviation harnesses.
Eye height may be adjusted by adding / removing foam cushions below
the main seat cushion.
Rudder pedals are fixed, so distance can be adjusted by attaching the seat
back to one of three hinges on the cabin floor.
7.7 Baggage compartment
Baggage may be loaded in the back of the seats.
Maximum 100lbs/45kg are permitted.
7.8 Doors, windows and exits
The canopy has a primary lock mechanism on the left fuselage sidewall,
which can be both operated from the inside as well as the outside. This
mechanism also triggers an alert on the VP200 Display if not latched
properly.
There is a secondary latch, which can only be operated from inside. It is a
simple rotation latch at the top center locking against the rollover bar.
