PASSENGER DOOR
DESCRIPTION
The passenger door is located on the left side of the aircraft in the forward section of the fuselage and is the primary entry
and exit for the aircraft. The passenger door is attached to the fuselage by a goose-neck hinge at the centerline of the door.
The door opens out and downward. When closed and locked, the door becomes an airtight plug to prevent loss of pressur-
ization in the fuselage.
COMPONENTS AND OPERATION
The passenger door consists of an integral airstair, stairway lighting, folding handrail, actuator assembly, two telescopic
support struts, door lock mechanism, inside door lever, and an outside door handle. When the passenger door is open, the
top step of the integral airstair is one step below the cabin floor level.
The passenger door is normally closed electrically using an inside or outside switch. The door can be opened or closed man-
ually.
