[C320-list] Cockpit drain question

[Graeme Clark]

That’s interesting!
No cockpit drains are fitted to my present or previous C320, both Mk 1
If the going gets rough we would simply remove the slide in plexiglass panel from the step through to the sugar scoop.
Is yours a Mk 2 or otherwise modified?
