MISCELLANEOUS CABIN FEATURES

The cabin is accessed through gas-cylinder assisted doors hinged at
the top. In this manner, the doors swing up and out of the way for ease
of entry and loading of cargo. Proper operation and care of the cabin
doors will ensure years of flying enjoyment.
THE CABIN DOORS SHOULD NOT BE SLAMMED. THE
DOORS DO NOT USE A PRE-CATCH MECHANISM AND
SHOULD NOT BE SLAMMED CLOSED AS THIS WILL
ONLY ACCELERATE WEAR ON THE DOOR ASSEMBLY.
Doors should be latched from inside by pulling the door closed and
while holding the door closed, articulating the door latch handle as
indicated by the placard. Externally, the door latch handle is operated
through a vertical arc as indicated by the placard. Pulling the external
handle horizontally may damage the mechanism and door.
The baggage area is accessed by tilting the seats forward and can
accommodate up to 50 pounds of cargo. Tie-down rings are supplied to
secure cargo. A tailcone close-out net is installed separating the
baggage area from the aft tailcone. The net is easily removed for
maintenance access but it must be installed for flight to prevent any
loose objects or baggage from migrating into the tailcone area causing
control and/or center of gravity issues.
Fire Extinguisher is installed for easy reach behind the cabin seats in
the baggage area. Extinguisher charge should be checked as part of
each preflight inspection.
