PASSENGER ENTRY DOOR (Passenger Version Only)
(Continued)
To close the passenger entry door from outside the airplane, raise the
lower door section until the door is held firmly against the door frame in
the fuselage. Rotate the inside handle of the lower door section forward
and down to the CLOSE position. After the lower door section is
secured, grasp the pull strap on the upper door section and pull down.
As the door nears the closed position, grasp the edge of the door and
push inward firmly to make sure the latching pawls engage correctly.
When engaged, rotate the outside door handle clockwise to the
horizontal (latched) position. After entering the airplane, snap the
interior handle of the upper door into its locking receptacle (unless
cargo obstructs access to the door). If desired when leaving the
airplane parked, use the key in the outside key lock to lock the handle
in the horizontal position.
WARNING
Do not use the outside key lock to lock the door
prior to flight. The door could not be opened from
the inside if it were needed as an emergency exit.
CAUTION
Failure to properly latch the upper passenger door
section will result in the amber DOOR WARNING
annunciator being shown on the PFD. Inattention to this
safety feature may allow the upper cargo door to open
in flight.
The exterior pushbutton-type lock release located on the upper door
section just forward of the exterior door handle operates in conjunction
with the interior door handle. It is used whenever it is desired to open
the door from outside the airplane while the interior door handle is in
the locked position. Depress the pushbutton to release the lock of the
interior door handle and to allow the exterior door handle to function
normally to open the door.
