Utility Doors; Operation With Aft Utility Doors Removed - Beechcraft Baron G58 Pilot Operating Handbook

Section 7
Model G58 Systems Description

UTILITY DOORS

The utility doors, located on the aft right side of the cabin, pro-
vide for loading and unloading of passengers and baggage.
Each door is half-hinged at the forward and aft edge of the
door opening. The aft door must be closed first. A latch on the
forward edge of the aft door moves downward to a locked posi-
tion to secure the hooks at the top and bottom of the door to
the door frame. The forward door cannot be fully closed until
the latch of the aft door is latched and flush with the edge of
the door. After the forward door is closed, it can be latched
from the outside by rotating the half-moon shaped handle to
the CLOSED position. A conventional handle on the inside of
this door provides for opening or closing from the inside.
The [AFT DOOR] (amber) caution alert will be displayed in the
annunciation window of the PFD and remain until the doors are
properly latched. The ALERTS SOFTKEY in the lower right of
the PFD will change to an amber flashing CAUTION until the
key is pressed to acknowledge the alert or the doors are prop-
erly latched.
