AIR STAIR (P/N DASH 8) - As Removed

The DASH 8 is a pneumatic airstair assembly for the forward passenger door on DHC-8-400 aircraft. This integrated unit deploys from the fuselage to provide passenger boarding access when a jet bridge is unavailable. The airstair interfaces with the door's pneumatically inflated seal and latch system, meeting Type I emergency exit requirements.

Installation and rigging must follow the aircraft's Maintenance Manual specifications. Verify compatibility with your specific aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog before installation.
