PASSENGER ENTRY DOOR (Passenger Version Only)
(Continued)
To close the passenger entry door from the inside of the airplane, grasp
the support cables of the lower door section and pull the door up until
the top edge is within reach, then grasp the center of the door and pull
inboard until the door is held snugly against the fuselage door frame.
Rotate the inside handle forward to the CLOSE position and latch the
lower door section.
Check that the lower front and rear latches are correctly engaged. After
the lower door section is secured, grasp the pull strap on the upper
door section and pull down and inboard. As the door nears the closed
position, pull inboard firmly to make sure the latching pawls engage
correctly. When the latching pawls are engaged, rotate the inside
handle counterclockwise to the horizontal (latched) position, but do not
use excessive force. If the handle will not rotate easily, the door is not
fully closed. Use a more firm closing motion to get the latching pawls to
engage and rotate the door handle again to the latched position. Then
snap the interior handle into its locking receptacle.
Refer to Section 3, Emergency Procedures, for proper
operational procedures to be followed if the passenger
entry door should inadvertently open in flight.
To exit the airplane through the passenger entry door, pull the upper
door section inside handle from its locked position receptacle, rotating
the handle clockwise to the open position as you push the door
outward. When the door is partially open, the automatic door lift will
raise the upper door section to the fully open position. Next, rotate the
door handle of the lower section up and aft to the open position and
push the door outward. The telescoping gas spring will lower the door
to its fully open position and the integral steps will deploy.
The outside proximity of the lower door section
must be clear before opening the door.
