In an aircraft with doors, 'open' doors is part of the emergency landing checklist.
Cessna's 150, 152, 172, etc So yes, open windows should be part of an Ercoupe emergency checklist - IMHO. In any event, I never fly with mine closed. It's too much fun with them open :-) Roy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Linda Abrams Sent: Monday, May 11, 2009 3:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ercoupe-tech] Inverted window kicking ? Importance: Low Hmmmmm... Should "open window" then be added to an emergency landing checklist? Or is any impact protection provided by the windows (such as it is) more important?

Posted by: "Nick King" [email protected] <mailto:nick.king88%40yahoo.com> nick.king88 Date: Wed May 6, 2009 3:18 pm ((PDT)) I believe the object is to remain upright. I dont know of many that "landed" upside down and lived to kick at all. In that situation i'm sure my adrenaline would allow me to chew my way through the side.
