Passenger Entry Doors
The passenger entry doors are used to enter and exit the airplane, and also serve
as emergency exits. There are no other passenger cabin exits. The eight passenger
entry doors are paired along the airplane fuselage. The doors are identified 1
through 4 left, and 1 through 4 right. The passenger entry doors can be opened or
closed manually from inside or outside of the airplane.
The entry doors are translating, plug–type doors. During opening, the door first
moves inward and upward, then translates outward and forward. Each door is held
in the open position by a gust lock. The gust lock drops into a latch as the door
nears its forward limit of travel. A window in each door allows observation
outside of the airplane.
