A small metal bobble on the outside of the door engages with this latch
I am trying to work out which design organisation (21J) can do this mod as the FLM supp is missing I think maybe AAT but any help appreciated

GM,
It is a standard option on new EC135 for the pilot and co-pilot door. It holds the door in a spoiler position to allow operation at higher speeds with the cabin doors open.
Not sure if an SB has been issued for retrofit.
