d. Remove the abutment angle.
e. Release the pintle latch by lifting up on the
rounded knob, and slide the pintle latch lever in-
board.
f. Pull the door inwards.
Easy or full opening of the door may be obstruc-
ted by the observer’s smoke mask assembly,
jumpseat harness buckle holder, etc. However,
slight force should overcome such obstructions.
NOTE
Due to possibility of damage to door assembly,
hinge, etc., opening of door inwards is consid-
ered an abnormal operation, and shall be at-
tempted only if an immovable obstruction pre-
vents normal opening of the door in a timely
manner.
CAUTION
As was case prior to installation of reinforced cock-
pit door, emergency egress from the cockpit in
event cockpit door cannot be opened, or is inacces-
sible, shall be via the cockpit emergency escape
hatch.
