In the post exchanges between Rob Logan and PJHWFD
I see that reference is made to a door hanging
open.
I have had this problem and even though I can see
the pressure rise and the pump trip off on the pressure switch I am at a loss to
explain the door failing to close.
It is always the right hand side and not all the
time. I took out the seat pan on the RHS to check it in flight and of
course it worked fine!
Of course if you do not know it is open you could
be flying that way and this may be why the hinge and rod end fail under the
aerodynamic loads.
Did either Rob and/or PJHWFD reach any conclusions
as to the cause of the door staying open and which side door was it? I
have checked all the obvious possiblities but am no further ahead. It
works like a dream when on the jacks.
The RH door is off the plane and stays off until I
can be sure that I have solved the problem. The left hand door is perfrct
and has given no problem in 160 hours.
Happy New Year to all
