from outside. Instructions are reported on the placards near the by-pass lever, lo-
cated in correspondence of the latch: to unlock it is necessary to push and hold the
red tab down, after that the door can be opened operating the handle.
After engine shut-down, the pressure drop can have a certain delay, preventing the
door from being opened by normal means: do not force the handle but operate the
override system above mentioned.
In any case, the electric lock becomes disengaged after a complete loss of the elec-
tric power.
Two switches engage respectively when the door and the latch are closed. Should
one or both switches be released, the MAIN DOOR OPEN warning light is turned
ON.
The emergency exit is fitted with the same safety device: in this case the pressure
switch allowing for solenoid operation is activated from right engine oil pressure
line; should be the door “open” or “closed and unlocked”, the REAR DOOR
OPEN warning light is turned ON.
Any voluntary operation of the manual by-pass solenoid lock causes related door
warning light is turned on.
The ditching emergency exit is manually operated turning the handle and pushing
outward the door.
The yellow fluorescent painted handle, which can be operated also from outside, is
fitted with a safety wire assuring removal effortlessness. When the door is open, it
stays connected to the fuselage by means of two cables which allow for door open-
ing forward.
