CABIN ENTRY DOORS (Continued)
PASSENGER ENTRY DOOR (Passenger Version Only)
The entry door for passengers consists of an upper and lower section.
When opened, the upper section swings upward and the lower section
drops down providing integral steps to aid in boarding or exiting the
airplane. The upper door section incorporates a conventional exterior
door handle with a separate key-operated lock, a pushbutton exterior
door release, and an interior door handle which snaps into a locking
receptacle. The lower door section features a flush handle which is
accessible from either inside or outside the airplane. This handle is
designed so that when the upper door is closed, the handle cannot be
rotated to the OPEN position. The lower door also contains integral
door support cables and a door-lowering device. A cabin door
unlatched warning system is provided as a safety feature so that if the
upper door is not properly latched, an amber DOOR UNLATCHED
annunciator located on the PFD will be shown to alert the pilot that.
To enter the airplane through the passenger entry door, depress the
exterior pushbutton door release, rotate the exterior door handle on the
upper door section counterclockwise to the open position, and raise the
door section to the overcenter position. Following this action, the
automatic door lift with the telescoping gas spring raises the door to the
full up position. When the upper section is open, release the lower
section by pulling up on the inside door handle and rotating the handle
to the OPEN position. Lower the door section until it is supported by the
integral support cables. The door steps deploy automatically from their
stowed positions.
The outside proximity of the lower door section
must be clear before opening the door.
