VERTICAL SLIDING JUMP DOOR
The original cargo door is replaced by a vertical sliding door made from
transparent polycarbonate panels and aluminum hinges which are guided
in UHMW (plastic) rails. The door is opened by the jumpmaster and is
closed in ight by the pilot by pulling an overhead handle located at the ight
compartment overhead panel. The door remains in the closed position by
the weight of the door alone. The door must remain closed for all phases of
ight except for when the parachutists are preparing to jump or while jumping
(amber or green jump lights illuminated).
WIND DEFLECTOR
A wind deector is installed just aft of the jump door to minimize airow
buffeting within the cabin with the jump door open.
INTERNAL GRAB BAR
An internal grab bar is installed just inside of the jump door on the upper left
side of the fuselage. The grab bar is provided as a stabilizing hand hold for
parachutists.
EXTERNAL GRAB BAR
An external grab bar is installed outside of the jump door on the upper left
side of the fuselage. The external grab bar is provided as a stabilizing hand
hold for parachutists.
JUMP STEP
An external jump step is installed on the left side of the fuselage just aft of
the jump door.
