Windshield wipers
The anti-icing system prevents an accumulation of ice, and the de-icing system removes accumulated ice. Hot air from the pneumatic system is used for anti-icing the wing slats, ram air scoop, forward strakes, engine, and engine nose cowl. Pneumatic air is also used to de-ice the horizontal stabilizer when selected.
An electrical anti-icing system is provided for the windshields, pitot tubes, static ports, and the stall warning lift transducers. Anti-fogging of the windshield and windows is also accomplished electrically.

Instrumentation and Navigation
Instrumentation and navigation systems are provided to permit flight under limited visibility conditions. The navigation systems encompass both ground-dependent and independent systems.
The systems provide instrument and annunciator displays for the flight crew to determine airplane attitude, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, heading, course, geographical location, weather avoidance, time, and guidance during approach and landing.
Landing Gear
The airplane has a fully retractable tricycle landing gear arrangement. The nose gear assembly is a dual-wheel, steerable assembly with an oleo strut mounted in the forward, lower section of the fuselage. The two main gear assemblies consist of two oleo struts with a set of dual wheels and brakes attached to each strut. The struts are mounted in the wing root area, aft of the right and left rear wing spar. Each wheel well is completely enclosed by doors when the landing gear is retracted.
Pneumatics
The pneumatic system supplies bleed air for air conditioning, cabin pressurization, potable water pressurization and ice protection. Normally, engine bleed air is used to supply the system. In addition to engine bleed air, an external ground connection is installed to permit connection of a ground pneumatic power source for engine starting and air conditioning operation. The APU, when operating, can also supply the pneumatic requirements while the airplane is on the ground.

FLIGHT COMPARTMENT
The flight compartment is designed for operation by a two-man flight crew with accommodations for an observer. The two-man capability is made possible by locating all essential controls where they are accessible to either man, and locating all visible indicators and legends where they may be viewed by either man.
The compartment provides flight stations for the Captain and First Officer. The seats are track mounted and are fully adjustable in fore-and-aft, up-and-down, and reclining planes, with positive locking in any position. In addition, a folding seat is provided for a flight observer. All flight compartment seats are provided with safety belts and shoulder harnesses.
Effective for some airplanes: To aid each pilot in attaining a precise seat adjustment, an alignment device is provided under the glareshield on each side of the instrument panel. To properly adjust the seat, each pilot must look across the flight compartment to the alignment target. When the seat is properly adjusted, the pilot should see a white dot centered in the right eye target locator.
The flight compartment contains four different types of windows: a center windshield and two side windshields, a clearview window on either side, aft window on either side, and two upper (eyebrow) windows immediately above the clearview windows.
The center windshield and two side windshields are electrically heated for anti-icing, antifogging, and added bird impact resistance.
The clearview windows can be opened to provide forward vision when the flight compartment is not pressurized, and also provide an emergency exit using the escape lines stowed directly above them. These windows are electrically heated for antifogging, but not for anti-icing. The eyebrow windows are electrically heated for antifogging. The two windows located aft of the clearview windows are not heated.
A fire extinguisher is secured to the bulkhead behind the First Officer’s station in quick release-type brackets.
An emergency fire axe is secured to the bulkhead behind the Captain’s station.
The flight compartment door incorporates an electrical lock operated by a pushbutton switch located on the forward overhead switch panel. In the event of lock malfunction or power loss, the door may be opened from the flight compartment by turning the handle and, from the passenger compartment, by a key. The door automatically locks when closed. A wide-angle viewer in the door provides crew members with a view of the passenger compartment. Louvered panels in the door allow air pressure to balance between flight compartment and passenger compartment in the event of rapid decompression during pressurized conditions. The louvers may be closed during smoke conditions.
