Passenger door operation
When the interior or exterior control handle is operated to open the door, a rod
connected to the lifting shaft and lower connection link raises the door to the
opening level.
The door is swung outward in flight direction until the door buffer contacts the
fuselage and the door stay mechanism engage to lock the door. Door guidance
during the opening and closing operation is provided by the two guide arms
causing the door to remain parallel to the fuselage. To close the door the button
located on the grip fitting of the support arm is depressed releasing the door stay
and the door is swung into the fuselage door frame. When a control handle is
operated the connection from the connection link to the lifting shaft lowers the
door.
