EMERGENCY
EXIT/BAGGAGE DOOR
The emergency
exit/baggage door,
located on the aft right side of the
cabin, serves a dual
function . It provides
egress from the cabin during
emergencies and
access from the outside to
the aft cabin baggage
area .
The door is attached
to the airframe by
hinges at the top and se-
cured
by locking pins
at the side and lower
edge . The door structure
incorporates
a window
similar to those
installed in the cabin .
Gas-
charged struts (gas
springs) are installed
to assist in door opening
and
closing and to
hold the door open
when fully extended . For
security
on the ground,
the inner door latching
handle has a red
streamered
locking pin
installed through
a hole in the handle to
restrict move-
ment . This
pin must be removed
before every flight .
AFT
CAB DOOR LIGHT
To
provide cockpit visual
indication as to the flight status
of the emer-
gency
exit/baggage
door, a red AFT CAB DOOR
warning light is in-
stalled on the
glareshield annunciator panel . The
light will illuminate
and flash if the
locking pins are not fully engaged, the
handle mecha-
nism is not in the latched
position, or the red streamered
locking pin
has not been removed
for flight . The light will illuminate
steady when
the handle is at
the full open position . If all components
are found to
be properly
positioned, a switch malfunction
or misalignment is the
probable
cause for illumination .
