LATCHING MECHANISM
The baggage compartment door has a direct, non- ad-
justable latching linkage that inserts two pins into hard
points in door frame. This latching mechanism can only
be locked from outside aircraft. An auxiliary exit mecha-
nism is incorporated into this latching mechanism
which allows door to be opened, in an emergency, from
inside, even if outside handle is locked.
-NOTE-
There is no way to shut and latch baggage
compartment door from inside.
Outside handle has to be unlatched and fully opened to
correctly re- engage latching mechanism after use of
inside, auxiliary, exit handle (Figure 52- 5).
There is a spring attached to clevis pin of latch linkage.
This ensures positive re- engagement of clevis pin into
cam slot of outside handle for proper actuation of out-
side latching mechanism.
-NOTE-
Follow procedures in Pilots Operating Handbook/
Airplane Flight Manual (POH/AFM, SECTION III)
for re-engagement of mechanism for proper out-
side handle operation.
