Subject: Europa-List: In flight noticed the rear door pin out -horror
Departing Bembridge and over sea I couldnt work out why so much air was com
ing up the throttle hole and fuel pump hatch, thought some baffle may have
moved. Then after a few minutes, to my horror, noticed the rear pin on the
passenger door was located outside the plane rather than in the socket. Fir
st time but a classic problem. Slowed right down to 70kts , thought about l
anding then decided to get my wife to close it properly. I was very glad of
the plastic hook at the rear and the leaver protector plate at the front.
She held the front plate and moved the leaver up, I held the stick and rear
hook and all went fine.
Couldn't have done it without the plastic dressing gown hook stuck and scre
wed in place at the rear.
Moral of the story (apart from checking before departure) 1. lots of air co
ming in means something open at the rear. 2, if you are building fit a mean
s of pulling the door back in.
BTW does anyone have a rotax vacuum pump sitting idle?
