Spoilers (Airbrakes) handle: full-up and locked Radio wiring: test the switches, check connectors and headset, perform radio check Battery (some models): firmly in position, check water level (if not dry version), joints clean with wires connected Emergency parachute release handle (optional): safety pin removed. Make sure unobstructed access is provided. Normal procedures and recommended speeds To enter the cabin first lift the glass door all the way to the bottom wing surface. The silver knob will grab and secure the glass door in position. Sit onto the cabin’s edge and support your body by placing hands onto this same cabin edge. Drag yourself into the seat lifting first the inner and then the outer leg over the control stick. Immediately after having sat into the seat, check rudder pedals’ position to suit your size and needs. Bring the pedals closer or further away by removing the pin in between the pedals and slide them to desired position. Do not forget to re-insert the pin in order to secure pedals in position. To lower the door DO NOT attempt to grab and pull door’s handle but gently pull the silver knob instead. To close the door securely, rotate the handle so that it locks (click here to see picture) and verify that all three closing points are secured. Fasten the safety harnesses according to your size. Adjust the rudder pedals according to your required legroom. If the aircraft is equipped with in-flight adjustable rudder pedals, adjust the pedals as follows: Sit inside the cockpit and release the pressure off the pedals. Pull the black knob in front of the control stick to bring the pedals closer to you. To move the pedals further away, first release the pressure of the pedals, then pull on the knob slightly (this will release the lock in the mechanism). Now push the pedals forward using with your feet, while keeping the black adjusment knob in your hand. WARNING! The safety harness must hold you in your seat securely. This is especially important when flying in rough air, as otherwise you may bump into the tubes and/or spars overhead. Make sure you tighten the bottom straps first, then shoulder straps.
