PASSENGER DOOR (Cont)
NORMAL OPERATION
To open the passenger door from the ground, use the outside handle in the center of the door. To operate the handle, push
the spring-loaded finger-flap inward and pull the handle out of the recess in the door. Continue to lift the handle upwards
until the handle stops, (approximately 110
°
travel). As the handle is lifted upwards, the vent flap in the door opens to equal-
ize cabin pressure. At the end of the handle travel, the latch mechanism disengages the door locks allowing the door to open
by gravity. As the door opens downward, the actuator assembly functions as an inertia-reel to allow the door to open slowly.
To close the passenger door from the ground, open the door-switch access panel forward of the passenger door and push
the switch to activate the actuator motor. The lifting cable attached to the door wraps into the actuator housing to close the
passenger door. As the door closes, a vent flap in the handle closes to seal cabin pressure. Pull the external door handle
downward and into the stowed position in the recess in the door. The door then can be locked with a key on the outside
handle.
To open the passenger door from inside the aircraft, rotate the inside handle to the full up position, (approximately 100
°
travel). The door locks disengage and allow the door to open by gravity. When the door is unlocked, a red flag indicator
shows through a window in the handle. To close the passenger door from inside the aircraft, push the switch located on the
bulkhead forward of the door. The switch must be held in at least 7 seconds before the electrically driven motor begins to
raise the door into the closed position. To lock the door, rotate the inside lever downward until it stops (approximately 100
°
travel). When the door is locked, a green flag indicator will show through the window in the handle.
NOTE: In order to prevent a cabin pressure bump during door closure, it is recommended that the air
conditioning supply be selected OFF prior to the door being closed. Following door closure, the air conditioning
supply can be reselected.
MANUAL OPERATION
In the event of loss of power to the actuator, the passenger door can be closed manually.
To close the passenger door manually from outside the aircraft, lift the door upward to the closed position. To engage the
door locks, push the outer door handle into the recess in the door.
To close and lock the passenger door from inside the aircraft, raise the hinged cover located on top of the actuator housing
and pull up on the T-handle. Pulling on the cable handle a number of times wraps the door lifting cable into the actuator
housing and raise the passenger door into the closed position. To lock the door, rotate the inside handle downward until it
stops. When the door is closed, a green flag indicator shows through the window in the handle.
