GENERALIdent.: DSC-52-10-20-00001545.0001001 / 20 DEC 10Applicable to: ALL
The aircraft has four plug-type doors that open outward and forward. There are two of these on eachside of the fuselage (two forward, two aft).They can be operated from inside or outside the aircraft. Normal operation is manual, with hydraulicdamping.Each door has features that tailor it to emergency situations :‐ An escape slide stowed in a container attached to the inboard lower side of the door‐ A damper actuator that limits door travel in normal mode, but in an emergency acts as an actuator
for automatic door opening‐ A slide arming lever.When the slide arming lever is in the ARMED position, the slide is connected to the floor brackets onboth sides of the door. When the door is opened, the slide inflates and deploys automatically. If theinflation bottle fails to discharge automatically, a crew member can open its valve to make it performits function.Opening the door from the outside disarms the door and the escape slide.Each passenger door has :‐ A mechanical locking indicator that shows whether the door is locked or unlocked‐ One warning light to show whether the escape slide is ARMED or DISARMED‐ One CABIN PRESSURE warning light that warns of residual pressure in the cabin.
