CABIN WINDOWS

The airplane is equipped with a two-piece windshield reinforced with a
metal center strip. The passenger version has sixteen cabin side
windows of the fixed type including one each in the two crew entry
doors, two windows in the cargo door upper section, and one window in
the upper section of the passenger entry door. The pilot's side window
incorporates a small triangular foul weather window. The foul weather
window may be opened for ground ventilation and additional viewing by
twisting the latch. The cargo version has only two cabin side windows,
one in each crew entry door.

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 and flag.
The flag identifies it as a control lock and cautions about its removal
before starting the engine. To install the control lock, align the hole in
the right side of the pilot's control wheel shaft with the hole in the right
side 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 flag over the left
sidewall switch panel.
The Rudder Gust Lock is a positive locking device consisting of a
bracket assembly and a bolt action lock attached to the rear bulkhead
inside the tailcone stinger below the rudder. When engaged, the rudder
is locked in the neutral position. A placard located below the lock
handle shaft on the left side of the tailcone explains the operation of the
rudder gust lock. The rudder gust lock is manually engaged and
disengaged on the ground by turning the airfoil-shaped handle
mounted on the shaft projecting from the left side of the tailcone. The
lock is engaged by turning the handle downward so that its trailing edge
points nearly due aft.
