OPEN DOOR
The cabin door on the Cherokee is double latched, so the chances of its springing open in
flight at both the top and bottom are remote. However, should you forget the upper latch, or
not fully engage the lower latch, the door may spring partially open. This will usually happen at
takeoff or soon afterward. A partially open door will not affect normal flight characteristics,
and a normal landing can be made with the door open.
'i
If both upper and lower latches are open, the dooi will trail slightly open, and airspeed will
be reduced slightly.
:; To close the door in flight, proceed as follows:
l. Slow airqaft to 100 MPH lAS.
2.
Cabin Vents - Close
3.
Storrn 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.
