The backdoor is locked by rotating the handle to the locked position. I have seen some FO's just say to passengers to read the briefing card before takeoff, but the reality is most pax dont bother reading it. I make a point of getting the passenger to look at the briefing card whilst i talk them through the card and the when to and when not to open the door. Our company SOP's dictate that I brief the passenger seated in 7A(rear exit row) or person sitting closest to it and the passengers seated in the overwing exit row. I wanted to ask the pilot during his safety announcement In fact I'd like to have a demonstration of how to open that door - but I didn't want to be considered some sort of oddball or worry anyone But in an emergency I really would like to get it it right.Ĭan anyone here explain how this door operates and what Jetstream passengers should do when faced with an emergency and the need to get it open?Ĭurrently I'm an FO on the Jetstream 32. Or do you pull the door inwards ( I assume it's a plug door of some kind) then turn the handle and then push out. Do you turn the handle to the right and push out?. It just doesn't make the operation of the door clear. The snag is I could make neither head nor tail of the instructions on the safety card. In an emergency it's a fair bet neither of the pilots would be able to make it to the back of the plane to open the door - so it would be down to us passengers, and - because I was the passenger sitting nearest seat to the door - it would have been down to me to get it open and help everyone out. The only door on the aircraft is at the rear. It's a 19 seater, crewed only by two pilots. There was, of course, no flight attendant. This week I flew in a BAe Jetstream - sitting in the rearmost row of seats. Call me a nerd if you want, but I usually study the passenger safety card of every aircraft I fly fairly thoroughly on each flight.
