摘要

An aircraft door having an electrically operated latching device (601) engaged only when electrical power is applied. Latch logic permits release by actuation of a switch (603) on the pilot's panel, by loss electrical power (602) , by a knob on the control cabin side (605) OR by a key from outside the control cabin (604). The aircraft door controlled by the electrically operated latching device (601) further includes a decompression override mechanism (606).
