Citation 500 Series - Cabin Door Operation

The 500 Series Citations all use essentially the same main cabin door. This video outlines features of the door, as well as operational considerations when using the door. The door shown in the video is a Citation Encore, but the same information would apply to a Citation II, V, Ultra, and so on.

Very thorough explanation; thanks for sharing.

Any issues with bleed air inflating the seal when opening the door while the right engine is running?

[@citationpro]

No, there is a mechanism that somehow depressurizes the door seal when the handle is positioned to "open." This mechanism is not described in the AFM or Operating Manual, so I don't know exactly how it works, but I know from experience it is there. A maintenance manual could probably give you the details.
