Starboard door EC332

Everyone please note that the starboard doors on Eurocopter 332 aircraft are liable to jam when jettisoned if a winch frame is attached. This has been highlighted to Bristow crews. Probably why the Starboard Door was slid open and locked for the evacuation.(The door can drop down on the lower projecting winch frame and rotate such that it traps against the sponson making egress difficult) .
