If opened from the outside the main cabin doors will disarm, Main cabin doors are designed with a dual light warning system inside the cabin on the door: Red lighted square indicates cabin is pressurized White lighted square indicates cabin coor is being opened under emergency operations, These systems are used by the flight attendants, 4. Always place ladder to the aft of the cabin door as they open outwards and forwards 5. Whether inside or outside, all main cabin doors operate the same way we ® _ ARFF PERSONNEL SHOULD BE TRAINED TU ARM AND OPEN CABIN DOORS FROM INSIDE THE AIRCRAFT TO ALLOW FOR ALTERNATE EGRESS DURING INTERIOR OPERATIONS. B. OVER-WING EXITS 1, All Airbus 320's have two over-wing exits per side that use an escape slide which deploys from the side of the aircraft and unfolds toward the aft of the aircraft. 2. Escape slides deploy automatically when the over-wing exits are opened from either the inside or outside of the aircrafi C. COCKPIT EGRESS 1 Cockpit windows cannot be opened from the outside! 2.
