CARGO DOOR
The cargo door is not to be considered as an emer-
gency exit.
NOTE
General
The cargo door is located on the aft fuselage left
side. When opened, it slides inwards/ upwards into
the ceiling where it is stowed. The door weight is
balanced by wires and springs, so that it will remain
in any position desired along its rails.
Operation
The cargo door is normally operated from outside
by pulling out and turning the door handle. On some
aircraft the door can also be operated from inside.
For inside operation there is a handle stowed in the
cargo compartment.
From a/c 260 and up there is no handle for door
inside operation.
Without Mod No 1819 accomplished:
The Inside Door Handle can be inserted in the fit-
ting through a hole in the door linkage cover panel.
With Mod No 1819 accomplished:
Mod No 1819 is part of the improved cargo Liner
modification meeting the more stringent fire resist-
ant equipment. To use the inside door handle with
this mod requires the door linkage cover panel to be
removed first. A handle (if installed) can then be
inserted in the fitting. The linkage cover panel can
be removed by unscrewing 8 large/headed screws.
No tool is required.
