Fareastdriver, the remote cabin door jettisons are fitted to all our AS332Ls. As far as I know it was standard. However, in the L2 and 225 the same handles remotely deploy the life rafts instead. This is because (amongst other things) remotely deployable life rafts are a JAR-OPS 3 requirement, remotely jettisonable doors are not.
Seems rather a retrograde step. We now have three methods of deploying the liferafts, yet only one for jettisoning the doors, which isn't even within easy reach of pax in the doorway.
