ATA 52-00-00 Doors Troubleshooting Tips
Baggage Door Indicates Closed when not Actually Closed
Aft shoot bolt accidentally enters in the recess of the aft fitting if door is not seated squarely in its frame opening.
SB 700-52-032 for the Global Express and XRS, and SB 700-1A11-52-009 for the Global 5000 introduce a nylon filler block (item 2) in the recess of the baggage door aft-latch fitting.
Baggage Door Binds and Comes Off its Track
SB 700-52-033 for the Global Express and XRS, and SB 700-1A11-52-010 for the Global 5000 introduce design changes to replace the cam rollers with new parts that have larger diameter and width which will reduce the gap between the rollers and the tracks.
Baggage Door Inner Handle Jamming
It has been observed that excessive force was required to pull or push the inner baggage bay door handle during the opening and closing sequence. The excessive side load on the center rod of the current L-shape handle when attempting to open, causes the handle to jam. Also, the inside door handle is too close to the interior finishing panel, making it difficult to open the door without pinching hands on the finishing panel.
SB 700-52-034 for the Global Express and XRS, and SB 700-1A11-52-011 for the Global 5000 introduce design changes to incorporate a T-handle with a longer spindle shaft to provide more room between the finishing panel and hands. Also, the T-handle is able to apply a more force when opening or closing to eliminate jamming.
