3.1 Lateral adjustment of the sliding door (Fig. 1 to 5) R

3.1.1 Front section (Fig. 1)

 To move the front section of the door inward or outward :

 - Add or remove laminations on the peel shims (6) at the end of R

 the lower arm of the door (DETAIL A).

 - Adjust the position in the two elongated holes (4) in the crook (3) R

 of the upper arm of the door (5) (DETAIL B). R

 The flushness tolerance is + 3 mm (.12 in). R

3.1.2 Rear section (Fig. 4, DETAIL G) R

 - Position the door with its rear section flush.

 - Adjust so that the roller support pin (25) and the roller (12) engage R

 as far inside the recess (24) as possible : R

 . No contact is acceptable between the end of the roller

 support pin (25) and the bottom of the recess (24). R

 . No interference between the roller support and the

 end of the middle rail (26). R

 - Maintain a clearance "J6" of 4 mm (.16 in) between the R

 middle rail (26) and the cover (27) of the bracket (13). R

 - Open the sliding door and move it fully aft to check for

 interference between the door and the structure over the complete

 travel while maintaining the previous adjustment.

 - Drill the roller support pin to match the bracket.

3.2 Adjustment of the sliding door in height (Fig. 1 and 2)

 To move the door up or down, or to orientate it, adjust the rear

 middle center fitting and the front lower slider :

 - Adjust the position in the three elongated holes (7) (Fig. 1) in R

 the ball-ended pin support plate on the lower arm of the door (8) R

 (DETAIL A).

 - Adjust the position in the four elongated holes (16) (Figure 2) R

 in middle bracket support (15) (DETAIL C). R

 SAFETY CRITERIA :

 CLEARANCE "J1" BETWEEN THE UPPER ROLLER (10) AND THE BOTTOM OF THE R

 UPPER RAIL (1) MUST NOT EXCEED 2 mm (.08 in) OVER THE COMPLETE DOOR R

 OPENING TRAVEL.

 Criteria :

 Clearance "J2" between the ceiling panel (2) and the sliding door (11) R

 must be 6 + 3 mm (.12 in ; .35 in). R

 Out of parallelism between the sliding door and its frame must not

 exceed 1.5 mm (.059 in) over length of 1200 mm (47.24 in).

 NOTE : The frame structure is made up of the reduced door, the ceiling

 panel (2), and the two rear bulkheads. R

 To adjust the clearance between the bottom of upper rail (1) and the R

 upper roller (10), add or remove laminations on the peel shims (9) on R

 the crook (3) at the top of the door (5). R

3.3 Longitudinal adjustment of the sliding door (Fig. 2)

 To center the sliding door between the rear bulkhead and the front

 reduced door :

 - Adjust the position in the elongated holes (14) in the bracket (13) R

 supporting the center rear roller (12) (DETAIL C). R

 NOTE : In case of interference between the rear roller (12) and R

 the structure box, the elongated slots (14) can be enlarged R

 to increase the bracket (13) adjustment range by 2 mm (.08 in), R

 (as shown on DETAIL D).

 Criteria :

 - Clearance "J4" between the reduced door and the sliding door R

 must be 6 + 3 mm (.02 in ; .35 in). R

 - Clearance "J3" between the rear 7° and 15° bulkheads and the R

 sliding door must be 6 + 3 mm (.02 in ; .35 in). R

 - Clearances "J4" and "J3" must be distributed evenly. R

3.4 Adjustment of the lower and upper locking systems (Fig. 3)

 NOTE : Two locking guide profiles, one on the 7° bulkhead (21) and R

 the other on the 15° bulkhead (22) are provided to: R

 - Close the door,

 - Seal the door through compression of the seals,

 - Ensure correct appearance within the flushness tolerance limits.

 To adjust the catches (19), the door must be closed, with its rear R

 section maintained flush in the "locked position" (handle in the

 "closed" position).

 Adjust the position at the catches (19) : R

 - In the elongated holes (18) in the catch (19). R

 - By adding or removing a peel shim (20) between the catch (19) and R

 the catch support (17). R

 MANDATORY SAFETY CRITERIA :

 - CLEARANCE "J5" BETWEEN THE LOCKING FINGER (23) AND THE BOTTOM OF R

 THE SLOT IN THE CATCH (19) MUST BE 1 + 0.5 mm (.020 in ; .059 in). R

 - NO LATERAL PLAY IS ACCEPTABLE BETWEEN THE LOCKING FINGER (23) AND R

 THE GUIDE PROFILE.

 - THE LOCKING FINGERS (23) MUST ENGAGE AT LEAST 10 mm (.39 in) R

 IN THE CATCHES (19). R

 R

 Criteria :

 . The locking load at the handle must be 15 + 3 daN

 (26.98 lbf ; 40.46 lbf) (Use the spring balance). R

 . The flushness tolerance for the rear section is + 3 mm

 (- .12 in ; + .12 in). R

3.5 Adjustment of the front lower stop (Fig. 4, DETAILS H and K) R

 The lower stop (30) both limits the longitudinal door overtravel on R

 door closure, and takes the door weight off the lower slider when

 the door is closed.

 It is adjusted :

 - Longitudinally at its attachment points.

 - In height by adjusting peel shims (31). R

 SAFETY CRITERIA :

 . Longitudinally : With pilot's door and sliding door closed and locked,

 position the lower stop (30) with a clearance "J7" of 1 -0/+0.5 mm R

 (.04 in ; .059 in) from the ball-ended pin support (28). R

 . In height : With the door in closed position, the stop (30) is adjusted R

 to prevent any contact between the ball-ended pin (29) and the R

 lower rail (32) and between the slider (33) and the rail (32). R

3.6 Adjustment of the central striking plate (Fig. 1 and Fig. 5, Detail L) R

 The sliding door (11) must be closed in order to adjust the central R

 striking plate (36). R

 The central striking plate (36) is adjusted by using the elongated R

 holes (34). R

 SAFETY CRITERIA: R

 1) Make sure that there is no lateral play between the reduced door (35) R

 locking pin and the bottom of the notch of the central locking R

 bush (36). R

 2) Make sure that the locking pin of the reduced door (35) is in contact R

 with the bottom of the central striking plate (36). R

4 FINAL STEPS - TESTS

 When adjustment(s) is (are) completed, check that the door and its

 closing system operate correctly.

 - Open and close the door several times.

 . Outside the aircraft:

 .. close the sliding door then the reduced door,

 .. close the reduced door then the sliding door.

 . Inside the aircraft:

 .. close the sliding door then the reduced door,

 .. close the reduced door then the sliding door.

 - Check for interference between the middle bracket (15) and the top of R

 the middle rail.

 If any interference is found, repeat adjustment(s).

 - Make sure all the safety criteria are met.

 - Maintain a clearance of 2 +0/-1 mm (.04 in ; .08 in) between the R

 upper roller and the positive stop with the door in the open position.

 - Use the spring balance to check that the normal opening loads are

 less than :

 . 1 daN (2.25 lbf) for the sliding load, R

 . 2 daN (4.50 lbf) for the outward opening load. R

 - Perform a rain test. If water infiltration is found, repeat the

 adjustments and check the seals for correct condition.

 - Make sure that the maximum protrusion between the reduced door and the R

 sliding door is not more than 4 mm (.16 in). R
