A319/A320 Door Designation
Hi @ All,
how are the aft cabin doors on A319/A320 officially designated? Are they 3R/3L or 4R/4L ? I'am not quite sure but if i remember correctly the dual overwing emergency exits are in terms of designation officially only One. Which would mean that 3R/3L is the correct designation for the Aft Cabin Crew/Pax Doors. Is that correct? Greetings Michael |
The AFT doors were designated 2L and 2R. But I did notice in the generic CCOM about 18 months ago they changed to 4L and 4R, I assumed this was for commonality with other types but never checked. |
I suspect that, from the point of view of the manufacturer and regulators, you can call the doors anything you like as long as you have a way of identifying each unambiguously.
Interestingly, Airbus itself has changed the way it refers to the doors, at least in its Airport Characteristics manuals, as the narrow-body family has developed. Initially, for the A319/A320 (left-hand side only, forward to aft), the doors were referred to as: Fwd passenger/crew door Emergency exit door [optional on A319] Emergency exit door Aft passenger/crew door Later publications changed that to: Door 1L Forward overwing exit Aft overwing exit Door 4L Similarly for the standard A321 (where the emergency exits aren't overwing), initially: Fwd passenger/crew door Emergency exit door Emergency exit door Aft passenger/crew door Standard A321 later: Door 1L Forward emergency exit Aft emergency exit Door 4L And A321 ACF: Door 1L Forward overwing exit Aft overwing exit Door 3L Door 4L Confused? :O |
