CHAPTER 1
AIRPLANE GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains brief descriptive information on individual
features of the airplane structure and systems. The information con-
tained herein does not supersede, nor is it intended to substitute for,
any data contained in the manufacturer's system or operating manu-
als. For detailed airplane description and operating information,
refer to the manufacture’s data.
GENERAL
The airplane is a light-alloy, low-wing, twin-engine airplane with a
General Electric CF34-3B1 engine on each side of the fuselage and
a Garrett auxiliary power unit. The aircraft overall length is 87 feet
10 inches (26.77 M), with a wingspan of 69 feet 6 inches (21.21 M)
(Figure 1-1).
Aircraft taxiing and turning radii are shown in Figure 1-2.
The airplane requires a minimum flight crew of two. The number

and arrangement of passenger seats may vary.
STRUCTURES
GENERAL
The airplane is primarily constructed from aluminum alloy, with
certain structures made from other materials. The primary structures
include the fuselage, nacelles, wings, and stabilizers.
FUSELAGE
The semimonocoque fuselage structure has a cover made from
chem-milled skin panels with bonded doublers. The fuselage is
pressurized between fuselage stations (FS) 202.75 and FS 621. All
skin-panel joints in this area are pressure and weather sealed. The

skin panel joints forward of FS 202.75 and aft of FS 621 are weather
sealed only. The fuselage has a cylindrical cross section for most of
its length. It becomes D-shaped between FS 409 and FS 559. This
creates a space for the wing center section and main landing gear
wheel wells. The fuselage comprises the fuselage main structure and
aerodynamic fairings. Main fuselage sections include the following:
●
Nose cone

Seat Adjustment
Adjust the seat position with the appropriate control levers to obtain
the optimum eye reference position relative to the eye reference
position datum located on the forward center window post. Use the
handhold on the upper console to assist. Keeping your head in the
forward facing position, look toward the ball indicators and adjust
the seat as necessary.
The correct eye reference position is established when the white

indicator ball appears in the center of the orange ball. The resulting
eye level should be approximately in the center of the forward win-
dow (Figure 1-17).
NOTE
During adjustment, the seat must be in the full
upright position.
Correct seat placement (height, fore, and aft):

●
All flight controls unrestricted throughout full travel
●
Flight instruments and warning lights visible without being
obstructed
●
Out-of-cockpit visibility unobstructed
●
Seat position same for VFR or IFR
●
Seat position comfortable

Flightdeck Side

Operating Limitations
The flightdeck door must be kept closed and locked at all times dur-
ing flight except to permit access and egress in accordance with the
FOM and this FCOM.
Any time the flightdeck door is opened in flight, a challenge and

response closing and locking verification must be used to verify that
the door is closed and locked.
Any time one of the required flight crew leaves the flightdeck
another crew member must be present in the flightdeck to ensure
that the required crew member is not locked out of the flightdeck.
Operating Procedures
Normal—To secure the cockpit door for flight, slide the main latch
into position to lock the door. The deadbolt assembly is for ground
use only or as directed by the MEL.
Emergency Procedures
Emergency Egress—Unlock and lift lower hinge pin. Unlock and
pull down upper hinge pin. Kick out door at hinge side. Rotate door
clockwise and stow against the galley.
CAUTION
Due to the weight of the door, this procedure
must be started from the lower hinge pin.
Emergency Ingress—In the event that the crew becomes trapped in

the cockpit or becomes incapacitated, rescue personnel can enter
through the cockpit upper hatch, which is operable from both inside
and outside the cockpit.
Decompression Panel—The decompression panel is held on the

door by the decompression latch. When the pressure difference
between the passenger cabin and the flightdeck is more than a preset
limit, the latch will release the panel.

PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
The area just behind the flight compartment bulkhead, on the left
side, is a wardrobe for miscellaneous equipment storage (Figure
1-21). The attendant and observer seats are in this area. When
required, the seats pull out on sliding rails from the wardrobe and
position across the center aisle. The seat has a safety harness and
provides a comfortable, safe place for the observer to view the air-
plane controls. The seat safety harness is a four-point harness with
an adjustable lapbelt and shoulder straps. The harness is complete
when both sides of the lapbelt and the two shoulder straps connect
to the quick-release buckle.
Other equipment in the wardrobe area includes the following:

●
Attendant’s forward miscellaneous switch panel
●
Attendant’s intercom and lighting control panel
●
Attendant’s and observer’s life vests
●
Observer’s oxygen mask/regulator storage unit

Passenger Door
The passenger door, which is the main entrance/exit for passengers
as well as flight crew, is at the forward left-hand side of the fuselage.
The door incorporates integral stairs with a retractable top and bot-
tom step and two folding handrails. It opens outwards and
downwards. A gas spring assists with lowering the door, and a
power-assist function assists door closing (Figure 1-26).
The door rests upon a support wheel when the door is in the fully
open position. Stairway lighting is provided in the risers of the stairs
and at the threshold area. Stairway lighting is controlled by
BOARDING LIGHTS ON/OFF switch/light at the forward atten-
dant’s console.
Passenger Door Operation—Inner Handle
The inner door handle rotates downwards to lock and upwards to

unlock the passenger door. Operating instructions are placarded on
the door (Table 1-1).

NOTE
1. Maximum load capacity of door is 454 kilo-
grams (1,000 pounds).
2. Maximum number of people permitted on

the stairway is four.
Door Operation (Normal)
Normal door operation is accomplished by executing the following

procedures. The interior single-lever handle rotates downward to
lock and upward to unlock. Total rotation of the handle is approxi-
mately 53°.
To open from the interior (Figure 1-27):

●
An initial 22° free motion of the handle before unlatching
unlocks the latch mechanism and opens the pressurization
flap in the exterior door surface. Continued rotation of the
handle unlatches the upper two “C” rotary latches and disen-
gages the four latch pins.
●
As the door is pushed outward, it descends in a controlled
gradual movement damped by the motor-actuator. The door
ground support wheel deploys from the stowed position.
To open from the exterior (Figure 1-28):

●
Grasp the outer handle on its lower edge and rotate upward
and outward. This action unlocks and opens the mechanism,
opening the pressurization flap in the exterior door surface.
●
Pulling outward on the handle rotates the door downward.
The opening sequence then follows that described for the
operation from the interior.

The handrails are secured in accordance with the handrail placard

(Table 1-2).

To close from the interior:

●
The door is pulled up using the DOOR ASSIST CLOSE
switch on the forward attendant’s panel (press and hold
switch until door is fully closed).
NOTE
Do not operate door-assist system during
power switching (APU generator to external
power).
An interlock on the cam mechanism of the

passenger door prevents the inner handle from
moving to the closed position until the door is
fully closed.
●
To latch the door, pull and hold the door completely closed
by the assist handle provided in the door steps. Simulta-
neously push fully down on the interior handle to complete
the latching operation.
To close from the exterior, reverse the sequence described for open-
ing from the exterior.

Operation (Emergency)
The operation of the passenger door as an emergency exit follows

exactly the same procedure as described for normal operation. All
applicable requirements for designation of the passenger door as an
emergency exit are contained within the appropriate Bombardier
Aerospace design compliance documentation. Crews should be
aware that the required labeling and placarding must be in place for
regulatory compliance.

Door Indications
The latched and locked position of the two rotary latches and the
latched position of the four latch pins is visible to the flight crew
from the interior of the aircraft. There is a visual indication for the
locked condition of the roll latch shaft.
Indications for the rotary latches consist of green-colored identifica-

tion strips. One portion of these strips is on the rotary latch, and the
other is on the fixed door structure. A register on the upper lock also
identifies a locked condition of the roll latch shaft.
The four door side latch pins are similarly marked by green identifi-
cation registers incorporated at the end of each bolt attaching the
latch pin to the push rod mechanism. Each identification register
protrudes through a slot in the inner door surface and is weather-
proofed by a transparent cover. The witness marks are underneath
this transparent cover and marked with placards in close proximity
to identify the marks at each pin location.
A closed condition of the exterior handle and closed condition of the

door pressurization flap, as well as a lower lock active position, is
verified by a flag indicator. This shows a message indicator between
two witness marks and can be viewed through a window centrally
located in a stair riser. When the lower lock is in the locked position,
the flap mechanism directly actuates the red UNLOCK flag to a
green LOCKED flag.

Flight Deck Indications

Instrument Panel
The passenger door visual and aural indications on the flight deck
are controlled by the EICAS data concentrator units and the master
caution and warning light system.
Door safety is assured by a combination of separate proximity

switch electronic unit output conditions, processed by EICAS input
logic. If any one of the conditions show a fault, the master caution
and warning lights illuminate and flash appropriately. If a red warn-
ing message is displayed on the EDP 1 primary display, a triple
chime sounds and the door aural message annunciates. If an amber
caution message is displayed, a single chime sounds. See Table 1-3
and Table 1-4 for the light indications, EICAS messages, and corre-
sponding door status.

Avionics Bay Door

The avionics bay door (Figure 1-29), under the fuselage forward
area, opens inward and moves forward and aft on tracks. Pressing
the push plate extends the handle for door operation. Turning the
handle 90º, counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close, oper-
ates the latch mechanism to engage or disengage two lockpins from
sockets on the fuselage. To set the handle in its recess, push in until
the trigger plate’s spring-loaded latch engages with the housing.

NOTE
Restow the avionics bay door handle if it is
necessary to completely open the avionics
door for any reason. It is important to remem-
ber to un-stow (move the handle to the
unlatched position) prior to closing the avion-
ics bay door, or damage to the latch pins and
surrounding structure could occur.
Crew Escape Hatch

The crew escape hatch (Figure 1-30) is on the flight compartment
ceiling, above the center pedestal. Pressing the push plate on the
outer handle ejects the handle from its recess. Then turning clock-
wise to open, counterclockwise to close, the outer handle operates
the latch mechanism. To retract the handle, align it with the recess
and push in until the push plate engages the spring-loaded latch.
Pushing the push plate holding the inner handle allows the inner
handle to turn and operate the latch mechanism. To set the inner
handle in its recess, align it with the recess, then push it in until the
trigger plate engages with the spring-loaded latch.
There is no EICAS caution or warning message for this door. The

only method for ensuring that the door is secure is for the crew to
visually check the door.

Galley Service Door

The plug-type galley service door (Figure 1-31) opens outward,
with an initial inward and upward movement. The interior handle
rotates clockwise to unlock (OPEN) and counterclockwise to lock
(CLOSE) the service door.
Rotating the interior handle to the OPEN position unlatches the door
and raises it for opening. The exterior handle has a push plate and
key lock. With the door unlocked, pressing the push plate extends
the handle. Moving the exterior handle to the OPEN position oper-
ates the door in the same manner as the interior handle. The door is
then opened and stowed against the fuselage in a locked position.
To close the service door, the latch knob is pulled and the door
pushed or pulled into its opening. Rotating the interior or exterior
handle to the CLOSED position operates the door latches.
From inside the airplane, pulling the exterior handle stow knob
retracts the exterior handle. The stow knob is then push back in for
stowing. From outside the aircraft, the exterior handle is pushed in
to complete the door closing sequence.
