Upper passenger/crew door opening and clos-
ing is assisted by a pair of gas struts. The gas
struts, when fully extended, hold the door open.
A keylock provides positive outside security
for the main entry upper door locking mech-
anism, but must not be employed when the
airplane is occupied since the upper door also
serves as an emergency exit. To alert the crew
to this situation, the red ENTRY DOOR light
on the CWP illuminates whenever the key-
lock is engaged and electrical power is ap-
plied to the airplane. The red “ENTRY DOOR”
and the white “ENTRY DOOR PIN” messages
are also displayed on the CAS in this situation.
