DESCRIPTION
Cockpit access door (Figure 7.3.9A)

opens outside. Retractable footstep makes boarding easier.

To open the door from outside the airplane (make sure the door is not locked), press on front end of the handle
embedded in door (this pressure disengages the handle from its recess), then turn the handle downwards. Pull the
door helping it to open until it reaches its maximum opening position.
After door opening, tilt and unfold footstep.

correctly locked.
To open door from inside the cockpit, unlock the handle by pressing on knob located on its right side, pull the handle
inwards and move it upwards. Open the door helping it to open until it reaches its maximum opening position.
After door opening, tilt and unfold footstep.

To close the door from outside the airplane, push the door until it aligns with fuselage and lock it by moving outside
handle upwards, then fold handle in its recess.
FWD compartment door
The FWD compartment door is located on the airplane left side between the firewall and the front pressure
bulkhead. It is hinged at the top. It is maintained in the up position by a compensation rod. Two interlocking-type
latches ensure its closing and it is equipped with a lock [same key as for the access door and the "pilot" door (if
installed)]. When the door is closed, latches are flush with the fuselage profile.
