ATTITUDE
OPEN DOOR
The cabin door on the Cherokee Warrior is double latched, so the chances of it springing
open in flight at both the top and bottom are remote. However, should you forget the upper
latch, or not engage the lower latch, the door may spring partially open. This will usually
happen at takeoff or soon afterward. An open door will not affect normal flight characteristics,
and a normal landing can be made with the door open.
If both upper and lower latches open, the door will trail slightly open, and airspeed wiil be
reduced slightly.
To close the door in flight, proceed as follows:
l.
Slow aircraft to 100 MPH.
2.
Cabin Vents - Close
3.
Storm Window - Open
4.
If upper latch is open - latch. If lower latch is open - open top latch, push door
further open, and then close rapidly. Latch top latch.
A slip in the direction of the open door will assist in latching procedure.
