I was looking at pictures on airliners dot net and saw this one of a
CJ with BOTH canopies open in flight. I thought there was a
restriction that only one canopy can be opened at a time?

I have often flown with both canopies open. Is drag the factor? JB

Med,
I know of no warning in the Chinese manuals which would indicate that there is a problem flying the CJ6 with both canopies full open.  However a bit of caution is needed in moving the rear canopy to the full open position while in cruise.  If you fumble it and it slams back it could jump the stops and come off.  I have sold two rear canopies because of this.  So get a good hold on the ball before you slide it back.

Doug,
Thank you for the response. I went flying and had the canopy open and locked in the full open position. It was fine. I guess the original Chinese configuration with the partition between the cockpits helps to reduce the wind blast for rear cockpit occupant.
