SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The different doors of the single aisle family are:
- Passenger doors,
- Emergency exits,
- Cargo doors,
- Avionics compartment doors,
- Cockpit door.
PASSENGER DOORS
The single aisle family is equipped with two forward and two aft
passenger doors. These are plug-type doors that open upward, outward
and forward parallel to the fuselage. The doors can be operated from
the inside or the outside the aircraft. Normal operation of the doors
is manual, with hydraulic damping.
Each door is equipped with an emergency opening system:
- An escape slide stowed in a container attached to the lower side of
the door,
- A door damping and emergency operation cylinder that assists normal
door operation and acts as an actuator for automatic door opening in
an emergency,
- a slide ARMING/DISARMING lever. When the slide-arming lever
U2C05411 - U0PT0M0 - UM52BA000000001

is in the ARMED position, the slide is connected to the floor. When

the door is opened, the escape slide inflates and deploys automatically.
Opening the door from the outside disarms the door and the escape
slide.

COCKPIT DOOR
The cockpit door separates the cockpit from the cabin. It is an armored
and bulletproof door designed to prevent a hijacking attempt and to
protect the flight compartment against an intrusion. The door is always
locked when closed and the aircraft is powered. A Cockpit Door
Locking System (CDLS) controls the electrical release of the door
lock and prevents unauthorized access into the cockpit. The door has
a door escape hatch with two pip-pins, which keep the hatch in
position.
The components of the cockpit door locking system include:
- Cockpit door panel on the pedestal with toggle switch to control the
cockpit door locking and unlocking,
- Keypad in the cabin for cockpit access authorization,
- Three electrical release strikes,
- Overhead control unit in cockpit with integrated maintenance
annunciators,
- Buzzer on cockpit overhead panel.

DAMPER/EMERGENCY CYLINDER DESCRIPTION (3)

DOOR DAMPER FUNCTION
The door damper cylinder function is to damp door movement during
opening and closing, in windy conditions for example. Damping is done
by hydraulic fluid going through a restrictor as the operating rods extend
or retract.

EMERGENCY FUNCTION
The damper and emergency operation cylinder forms an emergency
actuator that assists and improves the opening speed of the door in
emergency conditions. When opened in an emergency situation, the
operating percussion lever lets the nitrogen bottle pressure act upon the
piston to push it out.

NOTE: The door can be closed after an emergency opening.

LONGERON
The horizontal longerons are stiffening elements for the outer skin, they
are vertical frame segments. They also act as load concentrators: the
pressure load on the skin is concentrated on the ends of the seven
horizontal longerons, where the door stops are located. Longerons and
outer skin edge members are riveted together.

DOOR STOPS
The loads resulting from the cabin pressure are transmitted by adjustable
stops into the door frame and into the fuselage structure. The door stops
are made from forged titanium.

GUIDE ROLLERS
The guide rollers, mounted on the door frame, guide the door movement
precisely from its lifted to its lowered position and vice versa, preventing
U2C05411 - U0PT0M0 - UM52DB000000002

any unintended collision. They move within the guide ramps, which are
mounted on the fuselage frame. Guide rollers and guide fittings also block
the door in the closed position. The guide rollers engage in a ramp to
block the door. Two additional guide rollers, located only on the aft edge
of each door, prevent door jamming when loaded with extreme forces.

SEAL
The door seal consists of a rubber extrusion with equally spaced
pressurization holes. The door seal is installed around the edge of the
door and a sealing section is fitted onto the door frame.

MAIN STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS
The door is made of sheet metal and machined parts. Note the position
of the hoist points. The primary structure consists of vertical and
horizontal edge members, longitudinal beams, frames, and an inner and
outer skin. All these parts are riveted together.

DOOR SEAL RETAINER

The door seal is a round hose-type seal and made of silicone and fabric.
When the cargo doors are locked, the door seal makes the related
compartment pressure-tight. For attachment of the door seal, the retainers
are riveted to the edge members around the cargo door.

HINGES AND FITTINGS

The connection of the cargo door to the fuselage includes the two halves
of the titanium and aluminum alloy piano hinges, and two hinge pins for
the actuators. The actuator attachment fitting is attached with screws to
the inboard side of frames 25A / 53A, and 26A / 54A. The FWD and
AFT cargo doors are structurally the same, but they are not
interchangeable.

FWD & AFT CARGO DOOR LOCKING MECH D/O (3)

LATCHING SHAFT
The latching shaft, which is connected to the operating handle by an
adjustable rod, operates all the hooks. It is the main part of the locking
mechanism.

LOCKING HOOK
In the closed and locked position, the hooks are in contact with the
fuselage slide spools and eccentric bolts and transmit the loads resulting
from the internal pressure. The hooks ensure the locking of the cargo
door to the fuselage.

LOCKING SHAFT
When the locking handle is in the LOCKED position, the locking shaft
turns and the safety cams move into the recess of the locking hooks. The
locking shaft is the main part of the safety mechanism. It is actuated by
the operating handle.

CAM
The cam is fastened on the locking shaft and blocks the hooks in the
locked position.

UNLOCKING OPERATION
The unlocking operation may be described in three positions.
LOCKED POSITION
Green marks are visible through the locking indicators. The door
cannot be opened because the locking shaft and the hooks are in the
locked position.
INTERMEDIATE POSITION
Red marks are visible through the locking indicators. The locking
shaft is in the unlocked position but the hooks are in the locked
position, so the door cannot be opened.
UNLOCKED POSITION
Red marks are still visible through the locking indicators. The locking
shaft and the hooks are in the unlocked position, so the door can be
opened.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM D/O (3)

GENERAL
This system controls the operation of the FWD and aft cargo compartment
doors. The hydraulic system includes the duplex actuators, two manual
selector valves (one for each cargo door), and one electro selector valve.
The electrical control system of the cargo doors supplies the hydraulic
components with electrical power. It prevents the operation of the system
when the cargo doors are locked. The FWD and the aft cargo doors can
be opened at the same time. The electric pump of the yellow hydraulic
system pressurizes the system at 3000 psi (207 bar).

NORMAL OPENING
To open the door in normal conditions, make sure that the door handle
is in the "UNLOCKED" position, out of its recess. On the control panel,
near the door, when you begin to turn the selector towards OPEN, an
internal switch triggers the electric pump and the electro selector valve.
Remain in that position until the green indicator light on the control panel
comes on. The normal opening procedure is complete. As the selector is
set to OPEN, the selector valve moves from the neutral to the extension
mode to enable pressurization of the actuator chambers. The electric
pump stops after 10 seconds.

NORMAL CLOSING
For normal closing, make sure that the manual Y-Z latches are in the
raised position. Then turn the selector, on the control panel, to the
"CLOSED" position. Door retraction is performed through two successive
steps.
INTERIM POSITION
The A and B chambers are pressurized at the same time. Due to the
different section, chamber A is actuated. In the interim position, the
spring-loaded blocking piston locks the selector in this position until
sufficient pressure is reached in the extension chambers.

RETRACTION
The actuator B chambers are now pressurized. When the hydraulic
pressure is high enough, the blocking piston enables the selector to
move fully to the "CLOSED" position and to pressurize the retraction
chambers of the actuators. The pressure built-up in the retraction
chambers closes the internal valve and keeps it closed. The green light
goes off. When the manual selector is released, the closing of the
internal valve prevents pressurization of extension chambers when
the manual selector passes back to the interim position. The electric
pump stops after 10 seconds.

MANUAL OPENING
The manual opening procedure is used in case of electrical failure or
pump failure. The door locking handle must be set to the "UNLOCKED"
position. This configuration is an electrical power failure. In case of
manual opening, two operators are necessary. While the first operator
holds the manual selector valve in the "OPEN" position, the second
operator operates the hand pump on the yellow ground service panel in
order to pressurize the A chambers. The operation of the manual selector
valve on the control panel moves the electro selector valve to the extension
position.

RETRACTION
The spring-loaded blocking piston is lifted up under the effect of rising
pressure in the extension chambers. Once pressure is built up in the
B chambers, the blocking piston allows the selector valve, still held
"CLOSED", to move, and the retraction chambers can now be
manually pressurized. As the hydraulic pressure closes the door, the
internal valve is also pressurized and closes to avoid pressurization
of the A chambers when the selector is released. Operate the hand
pump until the door is fully closed.

the piston rod. The detection pin, lever and proximity switch are used for
monitoring purposes.

ROD EXTENSION
As the piston rod reaches the end of the opening travel, the claws pass
over an internal lock. The hydraulic pressure applied to port A forces the
piston rod to extend until the claws push back the sleeve assembly, at the
end of the rod travel.

LOCKING SYSTEM AND DETECTION SWITCH
In this position, the lever is lifted up lifting with it the detection pin that
triggers the proximity switch that signals LOCKED. As soon as the
locking clamp claws get behind the edge of the locking bushing, the
compressed claws spread apart and the sleeve assembly is pushed between
the claws, locking the system.

ROD RETRACTION
The pressure first moves the sleeve assembly backwards and then unlocks
the claws, allowing the piston rod to retract. The pressure applied via
port B acts upon the annular piston area and the sleeve assembly area.

DOOR
The cockpit door opens into the flight direction and a magnetic door
stop keeps it in its fully open position. The cockpit door structure is
a honeycomb core bonded between prepregnated sheets. Two
aluminum plates with the same decor as the passenger cabin lining
are installed on each side to prevent damage.
On the cockpit door there is an upper hinge, which is attached with
screws to the cockpit structure. The bottom of the cockpit door has
an attachment fitting which engages with the floor structure.
There is a cut-out section in the door structure for the door escape
hatch. In case of emergency the cockpit crew can leave the cockpit
through this door escape hatch. The door escape hatch structure is the
same as the door. There are two pip-pin fittings installed on the inner
side of the hatch. The two pip-pins engage with the related bracket of
the door structure to keep the hatch in position.
The manually operated three-latch mechanism keeps the cockpit door
in the closed position. It is installed on the inner side of the cockpit
door. It has a spring-loaded D-ring assembly which extends or retracts
the three-latch tenons. The tenons engage with the catch of the
electrical release strikes installed opposite in the lavatory wall. The

CONTROLS
The extension or retraction of the entrance stairs can be controlled from
two controls panels, one on the NLG leg and one at the purser station
near the LH FWD passenger door. In normal operation, the stairs are
controlled either from the EXTension and RETRaction P/Bs on the cabin
control unit or from the STAIRS selectors on the NLG. In emergency
operation, the stairs have to be operated in sequence manually.

INDICATING
For safe operation two different kinds of indicating systems are fitted:
- one indicating system on the control panel,
- one indicating system on the ECAM.
A yellow LED on the control panel LighT P/B comes on when the stairs
lights are on. Two red LEDs under the word OPER come on when the
retraction or extension sequence is in progress. The stairs symbol is
displayed on the ECAM when the stairs are not locked in the retracted
position.

LIGHTING
The lighting system comprises two lights per step. Lighting is controlled
U2C05411 - U0PT0M0 - UM52P2000000001

by two switches, one on the control panel in the cabin and one on the
control panel on the NLG leg. Lighting is possible only if the stairs are
unfolded and it is switched off automatically when the stairs door is
closed.

opening is obtained through a DC powered electric actuator. A carriage,
driven by a DC powered motor moves in the extended direction. The
EXT P/B must be maintained depressed during all the extension sequence.
A folding-unfolding electric motor allows the two flights of stairs to be
unfolded. Stair operation can be controlled from the NLG control unit.
A three-position switch controls the extension and retraction sequences.
A two-position switch controls the stairs lighting system. Telescopic
handrails have to be locked on pins installed on the doorframe. Each
telescopic handrail is equipped with a lock, which is released by pressing
on it. Then, pull out the handrail. Release the lock and push in the handrail
sliding lock. Engaged in the pin. Release the handrail sliding lock. Check
that the handrail is correctly locked. When the telescopic handrail is
secured, the OPER light extinguishes. Position the locking pin located
on the door support arm in the extended position. Rotated counter
clockwise, pull it out and then rotating clockwise to lock it. The left
telescopic handrail has to be connected in the same manner has the right
handrail. Depress the LT P/B to switch on the lighting system. Each stair

CIDS WARNINGS
Failure indicating depends on the importance of the failures. There is a
Cabin Intercommunication Data System (CIDS) CAUTion light in the
upper left-hand corner of each Forward Attendant Panel (FAP) page
display. It is normally off. The CAUTion light flashes amber when the
active DIRector detects a fault that needs cabin crew action. The action
needed is displayed in the heading row (e.g. SELECT DOORS PAGE).
When you select the page, the CAUTion light stops flashing and remains
on steadily. If the fault is cleared, the CAUTion light goes off. For some
faults the required page is automatically displayed on the FAP. When
the page is automatically displayed there can also be a BLUE CARD
message. This is a blue rectangle with a fault message written in amber.
Major CIDS faults are also indicated to the flight crew with a Flight
Warning System (FWS) level 2 or level 1 alert. All CIDS faults generate
Centralized Fault Display System (CFDS) / MCDU class 1, 2, 3 messages.
FAP DOOR PAGE
This page displays the doors/slides status on the A/C:
- a red symbol indicates a door unlocked/open,
- a green symbol indicates a door locked and its escape slide armed,
- an amber symbol indicates a door locked but its escape slide
