Answer 3

WARNING

• Activation of the Emergency Egress System when combustible fuel/vapours are present in he cockpit can result in an explosion/fire
• Dangerous debris may be expelled 15m outward from the canopy when the system is activated. Ensure personnel are clear of the danger area before activating the Emergency Egress System.
• After activation of the Emergency Egress System, sharp protrusions may remain at the edges of the door/window frame. Crew members should exercise caution when entering/egressing a canopy perforated by the Emergency Egress System

• After activation of the Emergency Egress System, sharp protrusions may remain at the edges of the door/window frame. Crew members should exercise caution when entering/egressing a canopy perforated by the Emergency Egress System
