CHEROKEE " E " SECTION IV
OPEN DOOR
The cabin door on the Cherokee is double latched, so the chance of
its springing open in flight at both the top and bottom is remote.
However, should you forget the upper latch, or not fully engage the
lower latch, the door may spring partially open. This will usually
happen at takeoff or soon afterward. A partially open door will not
affect normal flight characteristics, and a normal landing can be made
with the door open. If both upper and lower latches open, the door will
trail slightly open, and airspeed will be reduced slightly.
To close a door in flight, proceed as follows:
1. Slow aircraft to 100 MPH IAS
2. Cabin Vents - Close
3. Storm Window - Open
4. If upper latch is open - latch. If lower latch is open - open top
latch, push door further open, and then close rapidly. Latch top latch.
A slip in the direction of the open door will assist in latching procedure.
