J200 TYPE CABIN DOORS
6.5.1 DESCRIPTION
J200-Type cabin doors are those which use the door hinge assembly shown in Figure 34 and the
latch shown in Figure 37. Early J200-family aircraft used this type of door.
The doors consist of an outer skin and an inner skin
– both made of fibreglass. The door hinges and
latch mechanism are bonded into the door and an acrylic window is bonded in place during
assembly.
6.5.2 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal of doors is achieved by removing the hinge bolts or removing the machined screws that
attach the hinges to the door frame. Refer to Figure 34 below.
6.5.3 ADJUSTMENT
Cabin doors should be adjusted so that the door skin fairs with the fuselage skin.
6.5.4 DOOR SEALS
A weather strip is glued around all edges of the door. Apart from excluding wind and water, the
weather strip is important in minimising exhaust fume entry to the cabin. It should be maintained in
good condition and fit at all times. New weather strip may be applied after mating surfaces of
weather strip and door are clean, dry and free from oil and grease.
