C. Operational Test of the Door Mechanism from the Outer Side
(2) Look through the door window to make sure that the red "CABIN PRESSURE" warning light does not flash.
(3) Do this test to examine the door locking/unlocking from the outer side and the automatic disarming of the escape-slide release mechanism:
Subtask 52-22-00-710-053-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL NOTE: Two persons are necessary for this procedure. One person outside and one person inside the cabin.
WARNING:
STOP THE OPENING PROCEDURE IF THE RED WARNING LIGHT FLASHES. IF THE RED WARNING LIGHT FLASHES, REMAINING PRESSURE CAN CAUSE THE DOOR TO OPEN SUDDENLY AND CAN:
(1) Make sure that the applicable emergency exit door is closed and the slide control handle is in the armed position (Ref. AMM TASK 52-22-00-410-001). - KILL OR CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONS
- CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.
(2) Look through the door window to make sure that the red "CABIN PRESSURE" warning light does not flash.
(3) Do this test to examine the door locking/unlocking from the outer side and the automatic disarming of the escape-slide release mechanism:
| ACTION | RESULT |
|---|---|
| 1. Push the handle flap in and pull the outboard handle away from the door skin. | The slide control handle moves automatically and:
|
| 2. Fully lift the outboard handle until it is level with the green horizontal line at the door skin. | The door comes free from the fuselage opening and moves up. |
| 3. Pull the door outboard and move it in the forward direction. | The door moves outboard and forward parallel to the fuselage until the door damper stops its movement. |
| 4. Push and hold the release button at the support arm. | The door stay mechanism releases the door. |
| 5. Pull the door rearward and push it inboard. | The door moves until it is in the correct position at the fuselage opening. |
| 6. Push down the outboard handle in the recess of the door skin. | The door moves down into the fuselage opening. |
D. Operational Test of the Door Damping Mechanism
(1) Open the applicable emergency exit door (Ref. AMM TASK 52-22-00-010-001).
(2) Do the special precaution before you start the test (Ref. AMM TASK 52-22-00-860-003).
(3) Do this test to examine the damping function of the door damper and emergency operation cylinder (referred to as door damper):

|---|---|
| 1. Push and hold the release button at the support arm. | The door stay mechanism releases. |
| 2. Use the assist handle and pull the door rearward until the door is in its closing positon. | The door moves with a constant speed rearward parallel to the fuselage. |
| | You can feel the door damping function because the speed decreases when the door moves into its opening. |
| | Make sure there is no hard hit on the door stop fittings at the end of the door travel. |
| 3. Wait for 30 seconds before you do the next step. | The damping device of the door damper becomes stable. |
| 4. Use the assist handle and push the door with force outboard to the fully open position. | The door moves with a constant speed outboard and forward parallel to the fuselage. |
| | You can feel the door damping function because the speed decreases when the door is at the end of the travel. |
| | Make sure there is no hard hit between the door buffer and the fuselage. |
(5) Close the applicable emergency exit door (Ref. AMM TASK 52-22-00-410-001).
