COCKPIT GENERAL. ‘The cockpit of the SAAB 3408 can accommodate two pilots and one observer. Both pilots have a set of fight instruments on his instrument panel. The rest of the controls and indica- tors are located in the overhead panel, glareshield panel, center instrument panel and on the pedestal. ‘The observer seats of a foldable type but can also be stowed when not in use. ‘There is no cockpit window that can be opened. Instead, a crew communication door is installed on the left side of the fuselage below the side windshield. ‘As an alternate emergency exit from the cockpit a hatch is located in the cockpit ceiling. This hatch can also be used for ventilation on ground AX ‘The cockpits also provided with two adjustable sun-—_Anote visors. itis important to notice that a sun-visor may never be upfolded in a position blocking the handgrips in the cockpit ceiling, This isto facilitate quick access, to the grip should a seat runaway occur.

In addition, seat back recline, arm rests angle and lumbar support can be adjusted. With Mod No 1760 installed an adjustable mechanical tum- bar support is introduced. With this modification the seat back can be raised or lowered by slightly pulling the lower part of the seat back and then adjusting the height.

The door can be latched in the fully open posi- tion by pressing it against a door catcher located on the cover panel to the avionic rack. ‘The door can be latched closed on the cockpit side by turning the latch lever to locked position as indicated by the red marking beside the lever. Incase of a rapid decompression, the door has a pres- sure equalization pane! (blowout panel) to equalize the pressure between the passenger compartment and the cockpit In event that cockpit door cannot be opened toward Passenger cabin due to immovable obstruction on cabin side, the door may be partially opened into the cockpit as follows: a) Remove the jumpseat assembly from its frame. b) Turn the door stop (colored red) adjacent to the rounded knob on the door jamb. ©) Release the pintle latch by turning on the rounded knob. ¢) Pull the door inwards. -— Notre — — — — ——— — Easy or full opening of the door may be obstruc- ted by the observer's smoke mask assembly, jumpseat hamess buckle holder, etc. However, slight force should overcome such obstructions. f-— CAUTION —--—— Due to possibilty of damage to door assembly, hinge, ete., opening of door inwards is consid- ered an abnormal operation, and shall be at tempted only if an immovable obstruction pre~ vents normal opening of the door in a timely manner. Note that emergency egress from the cockpit in event cockpit door cannot be opened, or is inaccessible, shall be via the cockpit emergency escape hatch.

In addition to a complete lack of means of opening the door from the cabin side, the door also provides protection from forced entry, in- cluding such attempted entry by use of battering in- struments and large-caliber handguns. 6.2 Main components ‘The door is constructed of reinforced composite board to withstand intrusion force, with ballistic mate- rial added to forward face (.2., cockpit side). As noted above, tests have proven the door’s capability of re= sisting repeated battering by weighted sledge, and re- peated impact from large-caliber handgun rounds. The lock pintie and barrel assembly and door hinge are reinforced to resist intrusion. The door can only be locked or unlocked from the cockpit, by means of a spring-loaded pintle and latch. A short nylon lanyard is provided to assist in closing of the door by aircrow. The pressure equalization panel ("blowout panel") fitted in the cockpit door is constructed of non-rein- forced material. However, on the cockpit side of the cockpit door, a built-up cage assembly is fitted to pre- vent entry — including partial entry ~ into the cockpit should the "blowout" panel be compromised, The for- ward face (ie., cockpit side) of this cage includes a panel made from ballistic material to resist gunfire, ete, Aso, on either side of the cockpit entryway, immedi- ately adjacent to the metal cage, two panels made from balistic are fited to protect aircrew from firearm discharge. ‘The cockpit door jamb is reinforced by a heavy-gauge aluminum abutment. The abutment angle is attached to the cockpit side of the door jamb by three clevis pins, thus allowing removal of the abutment angle by aircrew in event door must be opened inward. Reinforced Cockpit Door AIRCRAFT GENERAL, COCKPIT Description Alarge, clear—vision, armored-glass sight window is fitted to allow observation of the passenger cabin from the cockpit. A cover is fited to the sight window on the cockpit side of the door, to prevent viewing of cookpit {rom cabin side of door. 6.3 Normal Operation ‘As stated above, the cockpit door cannot be opened, or latched closed, from the passenger cabin side of the door. = To close door, either aircrew member pulls door to- wards closed position via the nylon lanyard. To en- «gage the latch, lit up the small rounded knob to re- lease the pintle latch lever, and slide the pintle latch lever inboard. Pull the door to the closed position, re- lease the rounded knob, and pintle will latch closed. Proper latching of the pintle is indicated by observa- tion of the green band painted above the rounded knob. Attempt to slide the pintle latch lever inboard to ensure proper latching ~ if latched properly, the lever will not meve. ~ To open the door, lift up on the rounded knob, and slide the pintle latch lever inboard. Door can now be pushed open. Nore — — ——— —— [ee Iso longer any installed means of we] g the coor in the open positon. ~ To observe the passenger cabin, rotate the sight window cever either right or left to uncover the win- dow. DO NOT attempt to lift the cover, as damage to the cover attach point wil occur 6.4 Abnormal Operation In event that cockpit door cannot be opened toward passenger cabin due to immovable obstruction on cabin side, the door may be partially opened into the cockpit as follows: 2) Remove the jumpseat assembly from its frame.
