Seat Adjustment
Adjust the seat position with the appropriate control levers to obtainthe optimum eye reference position relative to the eye referenceposition datum located on the forward center window post. Use thehandhold on the upper console to assist. Keeping your head in theforward facing position, look toward the ball indicators and adjustthe seat as necessary.
The correct eye reference position is established when the whiteindicator ball appears in the center of the orange ball. The resultingeye level should be approximately in the center of the forward win-dow (Figure 1-17).

NOTEDuring adjustment, the seat must be in the fullupright position.
Correct seat placement (height, fore, and aft):
● All flight controls unrestricted throughout full travel
● Flight instruments and warning lights visible without beingobstructed
● Out-of-cockpit visibility unobstructed
● Seat position same for VFR or IFR
● Seat position comfortable

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 theFOM and this FCOM.
Any time the flightdeck door is opened in flight, a challenge andresponse closing and locking verification must be used to verify thatthe door is closed and locked.
Any time one of the required flight crew leaves the flightdeckanother crew member must be present in the flightdeck to ensurethat the required crew member is not locked out of the flightdeck.
Revision 2—June 2004 1-29
Operating Procedures
Normal—To secure the cockpit door for flight, slide the main latchinto position to lock the door. The deadbolt assembly is for grounduse only or as directed by the MEL.
Emergency Procedures
Emergency Egress—Unlock and lift lower hinge pin. Unlock andpull down upper hinge pin. Kick out door at hinge side. Rotate doorclockwise and stow against the galley.

Passenger Door
The passenger door, which is the main entrance/exit for passengersas well as flight crew, is at the forward left-hand side of the fuselage.
Revision 2—June 2004 1-39
The door incorporates integral stairs with a retractable top and bot-tom step and two folding handrails. It opens outwards anddownwards. A gas spring assists with lowering the door, and apower-assist function assists door closing (Figure 1-26).
The door rests upon a support wheel when the door is in the fullyopen position. Stairway lighting is provided in the risers of the stairsand at the threshold area. Stairway lighting is controlled byBOARDING 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 tounlock the passenger door. Operating instructions are placarded onthe door (Table 1-1).

NOTE1. Maximum load capacity of door is 454 kilo-
grams (1,000 pounds).
2. Maximum number of people permitted onthe stairway is four.
Door Operation (Normal)
Normal door operation is accomplished by executing the followingprocedures. The interior single-lever handle rotates downward tolock and upward to unlock. Total rotation of the handle is approxi-mately 53°.
Revision 2—June 2004 1-41
To open from the interior (Figure 1-27):
● An initial 22° free motion of the handle before unlatchingunlocks the latch mechanism and opens the pressurizationflap in the exterior door surface. Continued rotation of thehandle unlatches the upper two “C” rotary latches and disen-gages the four latch pins.
● As the door is pushed outward, it descends in a controlledgradual movement damped by the motor-actuator. The doorground 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 upwardand 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 theoperation from the interior.

The handrails are secured in accordance with the handrail placard(Table 1-2).

Door Indications
The latched and locked position of the two rotary latches and thelatched position of the four latch pins is visible to the flight crewfrom the interior of the aircraft. There is a visual indication for thelocked 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 theother is on the fixed door structure. A register on the upper lock alsoidentifies 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
Revision 2—June 2004 1-45
latch pin to the push rod mechanism. Each identification registerprotrudes through a slot in the inner door surface and is weather-proofed by a transparent cover. The witness marks are underneaththis transparent cover and marked with placards in close proximityto identify the marks at each pin location.
A closed condition of the exterior handle and closed condition of thedoor pressurization flap, as well as a lower lock active position, isverified by a flag indicator. This shows a message indicator betweentwo witness marks and can be viewed through a window centrallylocated in a stair riser. When the lower lock is in the locked position,the flap mechanism directly actuates the red UNLOCK flag to agreen LOCKED flag.

Flight Deck Indications
Instrument Panel
The passenger door visual and aural indications on the flight deckare controlled by the EICAS data concentrator units and the mastercaution and warning light system.
Door safety is assured by a combination of separate proximityswitch electronic unit output conditions, processed by EICAS inputlogic. If any one of the conditions show a fault, the master cautionand warning lights illuminate and flash appropriately. If a red warn-ing message is displayed on the EDP 1 primary display, a triplechime sounds and the door aural message annunciates. If an amber
1-46 Revision 2—June 2004
caution message is displayed, a single chime sounds. See Table 1-3and Table 1-4 for the light indications, EICAS messages, and corre-sponding door status.

outer handle ejects the handle from its recess. Then turning clock-wise to open, counterclockwise to close, the outer handle operatesthe latch mechanism. To retract the handle, align it with the recessand push in until the push plate engages the spring-loaded latch.
Pushing the push plate holding the inner handle allows the innerhandle to turn and operate the latch mechanism. To set the innerhandle in its recess, align it with the recess, then push it in until thetrigger plate engages with the spring-loaded latch.
There is no EICAS caution or warning message for this door. Theonly method for ensuring that the door is secure is for the crew tovisually check the door.
