PASSENGER DOOR COMPONENTS
The following components are described to provide an understanding of the passenger door
operating system.
Airstair and Handrails Assembly
The airstairs act as the steps for embarking/disembarking the airplane. They also act as support
for the door structure, which hangs below the airstairs when open. The airstairs are hinged to the
airplane via two hinges and two pins.
The handrails are attached to the fuselage and the airstairs. They support the weight of the door
and airstair assembly and passenger loading. Handrails are capable of supporting the weight of
the door and passenger loading.
The design of the door is such that there is no contact with the ground when the door is in the
open position.
