Exit from the airplane is accomplished by rotating the door handle
from the LOCKposition, past the CLOSEposition, aft to the OPENposition
and pushing the door open. To lock the airplane, lock the right cabin door
with the inside handle, close the left cabin door, and using the ignition key,
lock the door.
The left cabin door is equipped with an openable window which is held
in the closed position by a detent equipped latch on the lower edge of the
window frame. To open the window, rotate the latch upward. The window is
equipped with a spring-loaded retaining arm which will help rotate the
window outward and hold it there. An openable window is also available
for the right door, and functions in the same manner as the left window. If
required, either window may be opened at any speed up to 179KIAS. The
cabin top windows (if installed), rear side windows, and rear window are of
the fixed type and cannot be opened.
CONTROL LOCKS
A control lock is provided to lock the aileron and elevator control
surfaces to prevent damage to these systems by wind buffeting while the
airplane is parked. The lock consists of a shaped steel rod with a red metal
flag attached to it. The flag is labeled CONTROL LOCK, REMOVE
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE. To install the control lock, align the hole
in the top of the pilot's control wheel shaft with the hole in the top of the
shaft collar on the instrument panel and insert the rod into the aligned
holes. Installation of the lock will secure the ailerons in a neutral position
and the elevators in a slightly trailing edge down position. Proper
installation of the lock will place the red flag over the ignition switch. In
areas where high or gusty winds occur, a control surface lock should be
installed over the vertical stabilizer and rudder. The control lock and any
other type of locking device should be removed prior to starting the engine.
ENGINE
The airplane is powered by a horizontally-opposed, six-cylinder,
overhead valve, turbocharged, air cooled, carbureted engine with a wet
sump oil system. The engine is a Lycoming Model 0-540-L3C5D,equipped
with a Cessna installed turbocharger, and is rated at 235 horsepower at
2400RPM, and 31 inches of manifold pressure. Major accessories include a
starter, belt-driven alternator, and propeller governor on the front of the
engine and dual magnetos, encased in a single drive housing, fuel pump,
vacuum pump, scavenger pump, and full-flow oil filter on the rear of the
engine. The Cessna installed turbocharger and associated components is
