What happened to the original door? If that door assembly can be repaired this would be your best option. If it cant be repaired then you need to get with your APIA and determine the correct door part number for your aircraft serial number. There are a number of free parts manuals online.Hi, Please suggest where I can find complete passenger door for TR182 from 1980.
Do you know if the jump door was installed under an FAA STC or EASA STC? If so there maybe a route to find the "lost" documentation. Perhaps look in the aircraft logbooks for a write up on the jump door which may contain more info. Some STCs have restoration instructions that will list the requirements to return the aircraft back to its original configuration. If you can find an STC number we might be able to locate the documentation.I'm in Estonia so is not so easy to get parts supply and my maintenance guy has no experience in such door modification.
The other problem is that the previous owner lost the door documentation and the maintenance shop which did it is out of the market.
Yup. Those hinges are really expensive, and they tend to crack and break. The airframe flexes around that doorframe in flight, loading the hinges and cracking them by forcing the latch end of the door up and down in turbulence or during landing. Just putting the airplane on jacks can cause enough frame distortion that the latch won't catch.I would hate to price a complete entire door assembly with the hinges, window and latching mechanism.
Tell me about it. We just replaced on our 182H.Yup. Those hinges are really expensive, and they tend to crack and break.

Kennblatt 549a is not a rule but a specification sheet for a 182--LBA's version of a FAA "TCDS" sheet. So there is more information to look for. I don't know the EASA/LBA airplane side but on the helicopter side most modifications like your jump door where installed using existing data like from an FAA STC but the work was approved under the LBA system. My bet is that your jump door is an STC from outside Germany. Does your aircraft POH/AFM have a supplemental section in the back that covers this jump door? If so can you post a copy of the title page of that supplement? Also post a copy of the entire logbook entry for the jump door as it might show more information. If you do not want to post on a public forum you can also post it as a private message to me. If the jump door is the same as an existing STC then you should be able get the data you need from the STC OEM.LBA rules covered by Kennblatt 549a.
