c. Cabin Door Annunciator. As a safety precaution, two illuminated MASTER CAUTION annunciators in the
glare shield and a steadily illuminated CABIN DOOR amber caution annunciator in the caution/advisory panel indi-
cate the cabin door is not closed and locked. This circuit is protected by the two 5-ampere circuit breakers, placarded
ANN PWR and ANN IND located on the overhead circuit breaker panel (Fig. 2-12.).
d. Cabin Emergency Hatch. The cabin emergency hatch, placarded EXIT PULL , is located in the right cabin
sidewall just aft of the copilot s seat. The hatch may be removed from the inside with a pull-down handle. A lush-
mounted, pull out handle allows the hatch to be released from the outside. The hatch is of the non-hinged plug
type which removes completely from the frame when the latches are released. The hatch can be key locked from
the inside to prevent opening from the outside. The inside handle will unlatch the escape hatch whether or not it
is locked, by overriding the locking mechanism. The key lock should be unlocked prior to light to allow removal of
the escape hatch from the outside in the event of an emergency. The key remains in the lock when the hatch is
locked and can be removed only when the hatch is unlocked. The key slot is in the vertical position when the hatch
is unlocked. Removal of the key from the lock before light assures the pilot that the hatch can be removed from the
outside if necessary.
2-10. WINDOWS.
a. Cockpit Windows. The pilot and copilot have side windows, a windshield and storm windows, which provide
visibility from the cockpit. The storm windows may be opened on the ground or during unpressurized light.
