1. General
There are three cargo compartment doors on the right side of the lower fuselage. They are referred to as FWD, AFT and BULK cargo-compartment doors and give access to the related cargo compartment.
The FWD and AFT cargo-compartment doors are equivalent but they are not interchangeable because of different electrical pin connections of the door plug . If it is necessary to replace the AFT cargo compartment door with the FWD cargo compartment door (or vice versa), the pin connections of the applicable door plug must be changed to agree with the related door position.
The FWD and AFT cargo compartment doors have a manual locking mechanism and open hydraulically away from the aircraft. It is only possible to open or close the FWD and AFT cargo-compartment doors from the outer side.
The BULK cargo-compartment door also has a manual locking mechanism. It opens manually into the BULK cargo compartment and up. It is possible to open or close it from both inner and outer sides.

4. Component Description
A. Cargo-Compartment Doors
(1) FWD Cargo-Compartment Door
The FWD cargo-compartment door is made of sheet metal and machined parts. It is torsion-resistant and safe to operate at wind speeds up to 50 knots. A manually operated locking mechanism is installed internally to keep the FWD cargo-compartment door in the closed position.
The electrical door control-system starts the electric pump of the Yellow hydraulic system which pressurizes the door hydraulic system. The door hydraulic system operates the duplex door actuators to open or close the FWD cargo-compartment door. If there is an electrical failure, it is possible to operate the FWD cargo-compartment door with the handpump.
The pressurization of the door hydraulic system does not occur when the locking mechanism is in the locked condition.
If the FWD cargo-compartment door is not correctly closed, an electrical circuit sends a signal to the door warning system. This signal comes to the Electronic-Centralized Aircraft-Monitoring (ECAM) system and the MASTER CAUTION lights in the cockpit come on.
