ENTRANCE
DOORS
AND
CABIN
WINDOWS
Entry
to,
and exit
from
the
airplane
is
accomplished
through
either
of
two
entry
doors,
one on
each
side
of
the cabin
at
the
front
seat
positions
(refer
to
Section
6
for
cabin
and
cabin door
dimensions).
The doors
incorporate
a
recessed exterior door
handle,
a
conventional interior door
handle,
a
key
operated
door
lock
(left
door
only),
a
door
stop
mechanism,
and
openable
windows
in
both
the
left
and
right
doors.
The door latch
design
on
this model
requires
that the
outside
door
handle
on
the
pilot
and
front
passenger
doors
be
extended
out
whenever
the
doors
are
open.
When
closing
the
door,
do
not
attempt
to
push
the door
handle
in
until the door is
fully
shut.
To
open
the
doors
from
outside the
airplane,
utilize the
recessed
door handle
near
the
aft
edge
of
either door
by
grasping
the
forward
edge
of
the
handle
and
pulling
outboard.
To close
or
open
the doors
from
inside
the
airplane,
use
the
combination door handle and
arm
rest.
The inside door handle
has
three
positions
and
a
placard
at
its
base which
reads
OPEN, CLOSE,
and
LOCK.
The handle
is
spring
loaded
to
the
CLOSE
(up)
position.
When
the door
has
been
pulled
shut
and
latched,
lock
it
by
rotating
the door handle
forward
to
the
LOCK
position
(flush
with
the
arm
rest).
When the
handle
is rotated
to
the
LOCK
position,
an over
center
action
will
hold it
in
that
position.
Both
cabin
doors
should
be locked
prior
to
flight,
and
should
not
be
opened
intentionally
during
flight.
