7-12 DOORS AND WINDOWS

CABIN ENTRY DOORS

Entering and exiting the airplane is accomplished through an entry door on
each side of the forward fuselage at the pilot and front passenger positions.
A cargo door on the left side of the aft fuselage may also be used for cabin
entry.

CREW ENTRY DOORS

Both crew entry doors incorporate a conventional exterior door handle, a
key-operated door lock, a conventional interior door handle, lock override
and a fixed window. The pilot window includes a storm window which may
be opened. To open either crew entry door from outside the airplane (when
unlocked), press on the forward portion of the handle to expose the handle
and rotate it upward toward the OPEN position. To close the door from the
inside of the airplane, use the conventional armrest handle. Place the inside
door handle in the OPEN 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 condition will hold it in that position.

Both crew doors should be in the LATCHED position prior to flight, and should
not be intentionally opened during flight. If it is necessary to lock the aircraft
when leaving it unattended, both crew doors must be locked from the outside
of the airplane with the conventional key locks.
