PART I-DESCRIPTIVE


     36.  Windscreen de-icing system

          The system is operated by compressed air from the
          cockpit air system, passing into the storage tank and
          forcing fluid from the tank onto the windscreen via a
          spray tube. The system is controlled by an ON/OFF
          cock (88) on the starboard shelf.

     37.  Anti-G suit system

     (a)  Air under pressure is stored in an air bottle and is con-
          trolled by an ON/OFF cock (92) on the starboard shelf.
          When the cock is ON, and G in excess of approximately
          l½ is applied, a spring-loaded valve operates and allows
          air at low pressure to pass to and inflate the anti-G suit.
          The amount of inflation will depend on the amount of G
          applied.

     (b)  The system may be tested, with the cock ON, by pressing
          the TEST button on the starboard bulkhead.

     (c)  An air pressure gauge, in the nosewheel bay shows the
          pressure in the system (1,800 lb./sq. in. max.).

WARNING.-1. The pilot must ensure that each safety pin is removed and stowed before flight. He must also ensure before leaving the cockpit after flight, that each handle is locked against the possibility of accidental withdrawal on the ground by passing the appropriate safety strap through its associated handle and securing it with its spring safety pin. All personnel must ensure that both firing handles are locked before entering the cockpit. 2. If it is necessary to leave the aircraft in an emergency on the ground, special care must be taken not to foul the secondary firing handle (on the scat pan) if its safety strap and pin are not in position. (a) A Mk. 2G pilot ejection seat is fitted incorporating a type ZF harness, headrest, footrests, parachute container and a seat well for the dinghy and emergency oxygen supply. An 80 ft./sec. ejection gun is fitted. (b) The height may be adjusted by a lever on the starboard side of the seat; the harness release is also on the starboard side. -------------------------------------------------------------------
