Doors, Windows and Emergency Exit
Cabin Access Door
See Figure 7.3.9.
The cabin one-piece access
door, located on the left side of fuselage aft of the
wings, opens outside. The retractable stairs and hand rail make boarding easier.
To open the door from outside the airplane (make sure the door is not locked),
press on front end of the handle embedded in door (this pressure disengages the
handle from its recess), then turn the handle upwards. Raise the door helping it to
open. Two compensation actuators bring and maintain the door at its maximum
opening position.
After door opening, tilt stairs downwards. Stairs down movement is damped by
means of two gas struts and leads the hand rail to extend.
CAUTION
Retract stairs before closing access door and make sure door deflection area is
clear.
To retract stairs, press on locking pin located on stairs front string board (see detail
1), raise retractable handle
- see detail 2 and pull stairs inside cabin. While stairs
are retracted, the hand rail folds up.
To close the door from inside the airplane, press on knob inside cabin forward of
the door. The door driven by a geared motor tilts downwards up to a position near
the complete closing. Pull the door until it aligns with fuselage and lock it by
moving inside handle downwards. Check that all latch pins and hooks are correctly
engaged (visible green marks).
DOOR is displayed in the CAS window as long as cabin access door and pilot
access door, if installed, are not correctly locked.
CAUTION
Before opening access door, make sure door deflection area is clear.
