King Air Suicide

There was also a Capt. who liked to f-ck with the F/O's whose favorite joke was go back to clean up, he would open the door jump in the back and Scream. Poor bastards thought they lost the captain, after some time to let them stew, he would jump back up front. I think that went on till one exceptionally large F/O took umbrage and brained him.

The way I hear it, it was the main door. The flight was a medivac flight. The passenger/patient got unruly and very aggressive and the crew made an attempt to put him to sleep by depressurizing the machine and before he got around to his nap, he beat up the medical person and then went for the door.

And as to the aircraft questions, Max diff is 6.1 psi (I think, may be wrong), with the safety bypass set to 6.5psi on the outflow/safety valves. The door opens towards the outside of the aircraft, it is not a plug type door. Hinged on the bottom, 2 pins in front, 2 pins in back and 2 hooks on the top of the frame. There is a handle on the inside and a button that you have to press to turn it. This is the locking mechanism, no bellows system.

There were no medical personnel on board the flight.

The button that you have to press is a bellows system, but the aircraft was depressurized before he got the door open.
