Doors won't open

Featured Replies

Sometimes after I land, and prepare for the ground service crews, I cannot open the doors. Is this an electrical or pressurization issue that I am overlooking ?

This is a pressurization issue. Hit the ground AC or APU and a pack for a minute, then try again.

Right, if the pressurization panel was configured correctly, along with the FMS, then after you have landed you should see the valve indicator on the pressure panel show all the way open, I believe that is the needle all the way to the right. If you are seeing something different, you can switch over to manual mode and hold the little switch over until the needle moves to that spot.Why the system is not automatically doing this for you is another matter. Perhaps a system failiure, or like I said, improper configuration of the panel/FMS, or something more sinister.

Thanks ! I will be looking for this the next time it happens.
