CESSNA SECTION 7
MODEL 208B G1000 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
CABIN ENTRY DOORS
Entry to, and exit from the airplane is accomplished through a door on
each side of the cabin at the pilot’s and copilot’s positions and, on the
Passenger Version only, through a two-piece, airstair-type door on the
right side of the airplane aft of the wing (refer to Section 6 for cabin and
cabin entry door dimensions). A cargo door on the left side of the
airplane aft of the wing, also can be used for cabin entry.
CREW ENTRY DOORS
The left door for crew entry has a conventional exterior door handle, a
key-operated door lock, a conventional interior door handle, a lock
override knob, and an openable window. The right door for crew entry
has a conventional exterior door handle, a conventional interior door
handle, and a manually-operated inside door lock. To open either entry
door from outside the airplane (if unlocked), rotate the handle down and
forward to the OPEN position. To close the door from inside the
airplane, use the conventional door handle and door pull. The inside
door handle is a three-position handle with OPEN, CLOSE and
LATCHED positions. Place the handle in the CLOSE position and pull
the door shut; then rotate the handle forward to the LATCHED position.
When the handle is rotated to the LATCHED position, an over-center
action will hold it in that position.
CAUTION
Failure to correctly close and latch the left and right
crew entry doors may cause the doors to open in flight.
A lock override knob on the inside of the left door for crew entry
provides a means of overriding the outside door lock from inside the
airplane. To operate the override, pull the knob and rotate it in the
placarded direction to unlock or lock the door. Both crew doors should
be latched before flight, and should not be opened intentionally during
flight. To lock the doors for crew entry when leaving the airplane, lock
the right door with the manually-operated inside door lock, close the left
door, and, using the key, lock the door.
