EMERGENCY EXITS
The emergency exits are located on the left and
right side of the fuselage at the forward ends of
the passenger compartment. From the inside, the
hatches are released with a pull-down handle,
placarded EXIT-PULL. From the outside, the
hatches are released with a flush-mounted, pull-
out handle. The nonhinged, plug-type hatches
