Civil applications
Schweizer 269c-1 Maintenance Manual
The Hughes 269A was mainly used for the following tasks: school, business and private flights, photographic and observation missions. It could also be fitted with a special spray system for agricultural applications. Several (american) cities used this two-seater in law-enforcement roles.
