CABIN ENTRY DOORS

Entry to, and exit from the airplane is accomplished through a door on
each side of the cabin at the pilot's and copilot's positions and, on the
Passenger Version only, through a two-piece, airstair-type door on the
right side of the airplane aft of the wing, refer to Section 6, Weight and
Balance, Figure 6-4, Cabin Internal Dimensions, for cabin and cabin
entry door dimensions. A cargo door on the left side of the airplane aft
of the wing, also can be used for cabin entry.

CREW ENTRY DOORS

The left door for crew entry has a conventional exterior door handle, a
key-operated door lock, a conventional interior door handle, a lock
override knob, and an openable vent window. The right crew door has a
conventional interior and exterior door handle and manually-operated
inside door lock. To open either crew door from outside the airplane (if
unlocked), rotate the handle down and forward to the OPEN position.
To close the door from inside the airplane, use the conventional door
handle and door pull. The inside door handle is a three-position handle
with OPEN, CLOSE and LATCHED positions. Place the handle in the
CLOSE position and pull the door shut; then rotate the handle forward
to the LATCHED position. When the handle is rotated to the LATCHED
position, an over-center action will hold it in that position.
Failure to correctly close and latch the left and right
crew entry doors may cause the doors to open in flight.
A lock override knob on the inside of the left crew door provides a
means of overriding the outside door lock from inside the airplane. To
operate the override, pull the knob and rotate it in the placarded
direction to unlock or lock the door. Both crew doors should be latched
before flight, and should not be opened intentionally during flight. To
lock the crew doors when leaving the airplane, lock the right door with
the manually operated inside door lock, close the left door, and, using
the key, lock the door.
