CARGO/AFT PASSENGER DOOR
A cargo/aft passenger door is installed on the left side of the airplane just aft
of the wing trailing edge. The door is a clamshell-type with stairs built into the
lower half for easy access to the passenger/cargo area. With the cargo door
open, the large opening facilitates the loading of bulky cargo into the cabin. A
conventional handle is installed on the exterior of the door.
1. To open the door from the outside, press the forward portion of the handle
to expose the handle; rotate the handle up toward the OPEN position to
unlatch the door. The upper half of the door has two telescoping door lifts
which raise the door to the fully-open position. Once the upper half of the
door is opened, the lower half may be unlatched by moving its lever aft.
2. To close the door from the outside, ensure the lower door handle is in the
UNLATCHED position, and shut the door. Hold the lower door closed and
rotate the handle forward to the LATCHED position. Pull the upper door
down and while holding it in the closed position, rotate the lever down to
latch the upper door in place.
3. To open the door from the inside, grasp the upper door handle and rotate it
upward to the open position. Once the upper door is open, move the lower
door handle aft to unlatch the door. The lower door may then be carefully
lowered to the open position.
4. To close the door from the inside, ensure the lower door handle is in the
OPEN (aft) position and pull the door shut. With the door pulled closed
tightly, move the handle forward to the LATCHED position. Once the lower
door is closed, pull the upper door shut while ensuring the door handle is in
the OPEN (up) position. Hold the upper door shut and move the handle aft
to the latched position.
As a safety feature, the airplane is equipped with a cargo door warning
system. If the cargo/aft passenger door is not properly latched, annunciation
through the G1000 will alert the pilot of the situation.
CAUTION: Failure to properly latch the cargo door will result in
illumination of the CARGO DOOR annunciator. This annunciation will
appear in amber if the aircraft is on the ground and red if the aircraft is
airborne (as determined by GPS groundspeed). Ignoring the amber
CARGO DOOR annunciation on the ground may result in the cargo door
coming open in ight.
