Section 7 Pilot’s Operating Handbook
Description of Airplane and Systems EXTRA 500
7.13 Doors, Windows and Exits
The entry door at the left side of the fuselage is a two-section,
outward opening door. The upper part folds up, held in upper
position by a gas spring, and the lower part folds down, limited
by two cables and provides a step for easy in boarding and
deplaning passengers.
Important Ensure wing flaps are retracted before opening the door to
avoid damage.
In an emergency case the upper door can be opened even with
wing flaps down. The upper door shall then be strongly pressed
against the wing flap edge, which will bend and thus increasing
the upper door opening angle. This allows deploying the lower
part.
For opening the door from outside, pull handle out completely,
turn handle clockwise and deploy upper door. Then rotate up
the sill lever which is now assessable on the lower door, stand
clear and deploy the lower door.
For opening the door from inside, press safety button, turn
handle counterclockwise and deploy upper door. Then rotate up
the sill lever which is now accessible on the lower door, stand
clear and deploy the lower door.
For closing the doors reverse above given procedure.
When closing the door ensure outer handle is flush with outer
fuselage surface, the inner handle is locked and all 8 inside
inspection glasses show green color.
The aircraft has a two-piece windshield and 3 windows on each
side. The middle window of the left side is incorporated in the
upper part of the entry door.
The opposite window is foreseen as an emergency exit window.
For opening the emergency exit window from outside remove
the clear plastic cover, turn the handle clockwise as marked and
then push window inside and down. For opening the emergency
exit window from inside swivel up the handle, turn the handle
counterclockwise as marked and then pull window inside and
down.
