Open Pilot Fan Door

  1. Press the two fan door release tabs simultaneously forward and swing the Pilot fan door to the open position.
    Note: Servicing the Pilot fan modules and other components located in the front of the Pilot, such as the front indication module (FIM) and the disk backplanes, require that the fan door be opened. It is also easier to remove the Pilot’s top cover if you open the fan door first.
