CABIN HEATING AND VENTILATION

Outside air can be vented into the cockpit for cooling purposes by opening any of

three vents located in the cabin windows. Two are located next to either crew

position above the outboard armrest, and they can be opened simply by pushing

them out and rotating them to the desired position. Each side vent should be

closed and rotated down when parked for rain protection.

The side vents will pop open at high speeds, if they are closed and

"aimed" forward. The resulting air pressure "pop" and noise may be

momentarily distracting.

The third vent is located at the front windshield, and can only be operated from

the pilot‟s position. A pull knob is located forward of the pilot‟s armrest which is

connected to the vent by a stainless steel Bowden cable control wire. By pulling

the knob aft, the vent opens; to close the vent, push the knob forward.

Fresh air for the cabin is not taken from the exhaust system or the engine

compartment. The cowling contains a scoop on the forward lower edge which

feeds directly to the radiator then vents warm air overboard down and out of the

cowling. A duct scoop is attached to the aft left side of the radiator. Warm air is

directed from behind the engine radiator into this scoop and enters the cabin

through a heat diverter box mounted on the firewall. A valve inside the heat

diverter box is opened and closed by a Bowden cable attached to a knob labeled

CABIN HEAT to regulate warm air entering the cockpit. By pulling the knob out,

warm air is allowed to flow into the cabin, and by pushing the knob in, the warm

air is closed off and vented overboard.
