And what might that soap-like gray spheroid between the RMP and MCDU
be - track ball for the laptop? Excellent link, btw :)

The second of the emergency exits, I reckon. Should the floor exit
(behind the skip's seat) not be usable for some reason, the side
window panel can be opened to the outside using the handle you
mention, it looks like.

The floor hatch gives aceess to the E&E bay as well as the forward hold
should you want to get into that for any reason. You could nearly set up
house in th eE&E bay, it's so big. There's another hatch just forward of
the nosewheel with a ladder you can exit the airplane from

Agree. My guess is that the window escape is for those situations
where the craft has crash-landed and is in a situation where the
purpose of the floor hatches is vitiated - sunk in a swamp or thick
underbrush or even a ditching, e.g. Assuming that the outsides at
window level are clear, there's one more possible exit route.

They're the tillers ( if you mean the ones with the curve on top)
The ones on the windows unlatch the windows and then slide them back. So
you can lean out and shout at the ramp agent to hurry the hell up you want
to go home.

I thought it was so you could tip the guy with the dirty rag who runs
up and cleans the windows for you even if you don't want him to...
wait, that only happens in California.

It happens in Vienna and Munich too! First time I was there we pulled

back up again there was a guy in my windshield! Scared the crap oout of

And here I thought they were to open the doors for the passengers,
just like on my old school bus. ;-)

I had a skydiver exit the right side of a no-door 182 at about 6500,
snag the gear, and climb up the left side outside my window. He knocked, and
I about croaked.

They're bastads, arent they? Ever had the "jump with the keys" stunt pulled
on you?

I have a "No keyboard liability disclaimer you should sign.

I remember at the start of the 777 class at Boeing, the instructor (me)
would say. "Our future retiring pilots will not be able to fly worth a damn
but they will be able to type at 90 wpm". New meaning for he term "type
rated". :-) Bob F.

I didn't think about this until just the other day when we we're
talking about it, but in the couple of minutes it took this nut to get
across the airplane and hang outside my window, I probably hauled him 3 or 4
miles from the drop zone. It was my practice to add speed right after
everybody left, and start the cooling process before I got started down in
earnest. I also generally left the drop area, as other aircraft could be
planning a drop, and the area was in the approach quadrant for our local
airport. If you had 5000' agl, and a square rig, how far could you go?(wind
calm).

This nut later got his instrument rating, became a very good pilot,
and went to work for FedEx, in Caravans. He has since married another FedEx
pilot. His best friend, Nut2, once went by the Aztec I was flying, in
freefall, close enough to recognize his tennis shoes. Nut2 also got a
Commercial, Instrument, CFI, CFII, and went to work in the business. To
prove that natural selection doesn't always work, they are both still alive
today.

They were the best of times, they were the worst of times.
