LOWER NOSE COMPARTMENT ACCESS DOOR - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. General
A. The lower nose compartment access door is an inward opening plug type door, which is operated from outside the airplane, and is situated forward of the nose wheel well. (See figure 1.) The door is included in the door warning system, sharing a common warning light in the control cabin with the equipment compartment external access door.
B. The door is of alclad frame and skin construction. Two hinge arms extend aft from the door structure to engage hinge fittings on the forward face of the nose wheel well forward bulkhead. Around the periphery of the door a continuous seal prevents loss of cabin air when the airplane is in flight. Pressurization loads on the door are transmitted to the fuselage by four stop pads on the edge of the door, which bear against equivalent pads attached to the fuselage structure surrounding the door.
2. Latching Mechanism
A. The door latching mechanism consists of an operating shaft connected to a latch pin which protrudes through the forward edge of the door to engage with a hole in the surrounding structure. The operating shaft has an outside handle which is recessed flush with the exterior skin. (See figure 1.)
3. Operation
A. The door is opened from outside the airplane by pushing the trigger in the door handle, which allows the handle to spring out from its flush position so that it may be easily grasped, and then rotating the handle counterclockwise. This action withdraws the latch plunger, energizes the door warning light in the control cabin, and allows the door to be hinged upward. As soon as the door has moved clear of its opening the handle may be rotated clockwise and pushed back into its recess in the exterior skin of the door.
B. When the door is closed the handle must be returned to its open position before the door will seat in its opening. The door is latched shut by a final clockwise rotation of the handle which pushes the latch plunger into the structure forward of the door and opens the door warning switch. When the door is thus closed and latched, the handle is then pushed back into its recess.
