Study Notes

Evacuation Provisions

The aircraft is equipped with 6 passenger crew doors (Type A) and 2 cabin emergency exits (Type I).
In case of an emergency evacuation, all doors and exits are used as emergency exits, equipped with slides or slide-rafts stowed in a container hinged to the lower part of the cabin doors.
Doors and exits have an initial opening movement to the inside, and then open outwards and forward.

Flight Deck Escape Ropes

Flight deck escape ropes are deemed uncontrolled when downloaded or printed.
Graphic 11-42 illustrates the flight deck escape ropes.

Cabin Evacuation Provision

Doors 3 are for emergency use only.
External door features:
- Door control handle to open and close the door from the outside.
- Flap to release the handle from its closed position.
- Observation window to observe the cabin pressure and slide armed warning indicator lights.

Opening from Outside

To open the door from outside, look through the observation window to ensure the door is not armed and the slide is not inflated.
Pull the strap from its stowage across the open door and attach to the hook at the door frame.

Arming and Disarming Procedures

The door can be armed or disarmed via the slide arming lever.
When the slide is armed, the slide arming lever connects the escape slide via the girt bar to the cabin floor.
