Took my 1980 Archer ii up tonight. When I got back to the fuel pumps I could not exit the aircraft. The door latch on the bottom seems to now be disconnected from anything inside the door. To make matters worse the baggage door was locked. I was so embarrassed as no one was there and I had to call a friend to help me out. He was able to open the door from the outside as that handle is still connected and works perfect. My question is how big of a fix is this inside the door? Anyone ever experience this? It was too late and I was too hot to look at it tonight.
It was a little disconcerting that this happened as I imagined the what if’s to losing an engine and trying to kick my way out.
