SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
ENTRANCE DOORS AND CABIN WINDOWS
Entry to,
and
exit from
the airplane
is accomplished through
either
of
two entry doors, one on each side of the
cabin
at the front seat positions
(refer
to Section
6
for cabin and cabin door dimensions). The doors
incorporate
a
recessed exterior door handle,
a
conventional interior door
handle,
a key-operated door lock (left door
only),
a door stop
mechanism,
and an
openable window in the left door. An openable right door window is
also
available
.
To open
the
doors from outside the airplane, utilize
the
recessed door
handle near the
aft
edge of each door. Depress the forward
end
of
the
handle
to rotate it out of its
recess,
and then pull
outboard.
To close or open the
doors
from inside the airplane, use the conventional door handle
and
arm
rest. The inside door handle is a three-position handle having a placard at
its
base with the positions OPEN, CLOSE, and LOCK shown on it. The
handle is spring-loaded to the CLOSE (up) position. When the door has
been pulled shut and latched, lock it by rotating the door handle forward to
the LOCK position
(flush
with the arm rest). When the handle is rotated to
the
LOCK position, an over-center action will hold
it
in that position. Both
cabin
doors should be locked prior to flight, and should not be opened
intentionally during flight.
NOTE
Accidental opening of a cabin door in flight due to
improper closing does not constitute a need to land the
airpla
ne. The best procedure is
to
set up the airplane in a
trimmed condition
a
t approximately 85 KIAS
,
momentar-
ily shove the door outward
slightly,
and
forcefully close
and lock the door.
Exit from the airplane is accomplished by rotating the door handle full
aft.to the OPEN position and pushing the door open. To lock the airplane,
lock the right cabin door with the inside handle, close the left cabin door,
and using
the
ignition
key,
lock the door.
The left entry door is equipped with an openable window which is held
in the closed position by a detent-equipped latch on the lower edge
of the
i
~
,
window frame. To open the window, rotate the latch upward. The window is
equipped with
a
spring-loaded retaining arm which will help rotate the
window
outwa
rd and hold
it
there. An openable window is also
available
for
the right door, and functions in the same manner
as
the left window.
If
required, either window may be opened at any speed up to 195 KIAS. The
aft
side
windows,
and rear window are of the fixed type and cannot be
opened.
