9.3 Special equipment for very small pilots (TN1000/17)
To facilitate the operation of the glider by very small pilots 3 different
items have been developed, which may be used separately or together.
9.3.1
a) Installation of the seat back: Install the seat back with 2 screws M6x16
DIN965 4.8 BIC with cup washers 15 x M6 MS NI NR4157 to the threads
which have been installed according to working instruction No. 1 for
TN1000/17.
b) The seat back may be adjusted further to the front by part Z198. Fix the part
to the Velcro straps installed at the rear of the seat back.
c) Remove the head cushion 8R80/2 from the holder on the rear instrument
panel cover (fixed with Velcro). When removing the seat back reinstall the
head cushion at the holder.
Install the head cushion see above to the Velcro straps installed at the front
of the seat back. Instead of the approx. 70 mm (2.8 in.) thick head cushion a
thinner head cushion approx. 40 mm (1.6 in.) thick may be used.
9.3.2
For pilots with arms too short to lock the airbrakes an airbrake-pushrod
with additional handle part 5St69/2 may be instead in the front cockpit
according to working instruction No. 2 for TN1000/17 instead of part
5St69.
This part may remain in the glider for normal operation.
9.3.3
Pilots with very short legs may clip rudder pedal plates part no. Z197 on to
the rudder pedals. Plates may be installed and removed as often as desired.
