    DIRECTIONS for Flight Experience in Front Seat
    1) Please make sure all your belongings are secure. Unnecessary items (ex. coins, keys,
    accessories, pens, wallets) should be left on ground. If you bring something in your
    pockets, please make sure zip the pockets closed.
    2) Please do not step on main wings direct with your shoes on. A protection mat will be
    spread on the wing when you get in the cockpit.
    3) Please do NOT step on the floor. Step on the seat and slide in.
    4) Please tighten your seat belt as tight as possible.
    5) Please do NOT touch the canopy. It is very sensitive. You have small clearance
    between your head and canopy. Please be careful NOT to touch the canopy when you
    move your hands.
    6) Please make sure you are not blocking control of the plane. Rudder pedals of rear seat
    are just next to your seat. Check your controls you have full.
    7) Use the PTT switch for InterCom, red button on the throttle to talk with rear pilot.
    Please do NOT press the black button on the top of the stick, it is PTT switch for radio
    communication.
    8) Please leave all controls free during the plane below 1,000ft AGL including on the
    ground. The pilot in rear seat take control below 1,000ft AGL.
    9) Please call out “I(You) have control” to make sure who is the pilot flying. The rear
    pilot always try to call out when he move the control during you are flying. However
    it is difficult to call out when quick input is needed to recover, so when you feel
    intentional control input from rear seat, please let it go as the rear pilot wants.
    10) The intercom mic of front seat may catch the wind noise and block communication.
    Please try to cover your mic from the wind. The wind noise will block not only
    intercom but also radio communication of rear seat. When you see three wing wags to
    left, take your communication plugs off from the cockpit jack. You may try to pull out
    the mic plug first then at least you may have hearing if it works.
    11) Please do NOT touch canopy handle unless you are sure about rear pilot is incapable
    to use his canopy handle. The handle works as canopy jettison handle during flight.
    12) In case of ejection from the plane, the rear pilot will call out “Eject. Eject. Eject” and
    jettison canopy. Please take OFF your HEADSET, unlatch seat belt BUCKLES, and
    jump out from the plane. Do NOT pull your D-ring until you are stabilized and clear
    from the plane.

    used during aerobatics. 12 o’clock position for wing tanks is used when the plane has gas in those
    tanks. Please be careful NOT to touch this. If you accidentally move this cock halfway, fuel supply
    might shut down.
