SEATS, SEAT BELTS

The seats are ergonomically shaped composite designs. The back rest is adjustable on the
ground with 2 quickpins in different positions and angle. The rear pedal-to-seat distance can
be varied in different positions. In the front cockpit there is no possibility to adjust either the
pedals nor the seat. The seat belt assembly consists of a left and a right shoulder strap, two
left and two right lap belts and a negative-g-strap. All belts are adjustable. As each lap belt
features a single point release, they are redundant for safety during aerobatics maneuvers.
If one release is opened unintentionally, the second one guarantees full safety. For safe
operation the releases are arranged in a way that one has to be closed to the right side, the
other one to the left. During acrobatic maneuvers the seat belt system should be tightened
firmly.

CANOPY

The canopy of front and rear cockpit is manufactured in one section. The canopy can be
manually operated and opened by lifting to the right.
In the open position there is a rod mounted to the fuselage rear of the canopy which must be
connected to the canopy preventing slam down unintentionally.
Interior canopy locking handles, located on the left side on the canopy of each cockpit must
be pulled together to unlock the canopy from the inside.
To open the canopy from the outside there are no separate handles, this means it must be
opened by reaching through the small window (bad weather window) and proceed as
mentioned above (interior opening).
