In case of extreme smoke development, the front canopy may be unlatched during flight. This allows it to partially open, in order to improve ventilation. The canopy will remain open in this position. Flight characteristics will not be affected significantly.
I stand corrected. Thanks for catching that Rich. It is not in the detailed procedure, but a separate note below the procedure.
