DOOR ANTI-HIJACKING LATCH/LOCK MECHANISM WITH PNEUMATIC DECOMPRESSION OVERRIDE

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).
