MANUAL RELEASE WITHOUT 35
If needed, all three hooks can be released by manual
controls in the cabin rescue hatch area. The center
hook has a manual release handle (D-ring). Pulling the
ring unlocks the hook and lets it drop open. The forward
and aft hooks are released at the same time by pulling
a lever at the right side of the hatch. The center hook
must be closed by hand after manual release. The
forward and aft hooks automatically reset closed after
release. Manual release of all hooks is independent of
the electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic release systems.
