A cockpit access security system controls changes to a record of personnel authorized to access the cockpit by reference to the state of the aircraft as determined by a plurality of on-board sensors indicating the state of particular aircraft subsystems.

A door arrangement for an aircraft segment, which door arrangement comprises a passenger door, a fuselage portion accommodating the passenger door, and a girt bar for arming and disarming an emergency slide. The passenger door is movable relative to the fuselage portion between a raised position and a lowered position. The girt bar is connectable by means of a connecting arrangement to the passenger door and/or to the fuselage portion. The connecting arrangement comprises a mechanism which is configured to, during arming of the emergency slide, actuate a locking mechanism of an engagement device fastened to the fuselage portion, such that the girt bar is fixed in a decouplable manner to the engagement device.

The invention concerns an aircraft door having a lever (3) for emergency opening from outside, disposed in a lever window. The lever (3) for emergency opening from outside includes: a main arm (7) having a first aerodynamic surface (9); a profiled cowling (8) with a second aerodynamic surface (10); a driving stop (18) capable of rotating the profiled cowling (8) from its concealing position to its separated position when the main arm (7) passes from its retracted position to its deployed position.

An electrically-powered accessory for vehicles includes a vehicle structure. A connector mechanically connects an electrically-powered accessory to vehicle structure. The connector includes a movable lock member that mechanically locks the electrically-powered accessory to the vehicle structure when the movable lock member is in a locked position. The movable lock member causes the electrically-powered accessory to be electrically connected to an electrical power supply of the vehicle when the movable lock member is in the locked position, and electrically disconnects the electrically-powered accessory from the vehicle power supply when the movable lock member is in the unlocked position.

A door hinge device for a vehicle is disclosed. In the door hinge device for the vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the vehicle without the B pillar, as the hinge slider connected to the hinge part of the door slides and moves in the outer diagonal direction of the vehicle body along the rails inside the case to secure the rotation trajectory of the door, and then the slide latch part configured in the hinge slider restrains the striker fixed to the case by the linked operation of the link arm connected to the door hinge bracket, thereby the slide movement position of the hinge slider is fixed, and then the opening/closing operation of the door is stably achieved.

Embodiments of systems and methods for operating a power tailgate system include overload checking a tailgate latched by a latch that is in a full-latching position, connected with a latch actuator, and activated by the latch actuator for non-revertible movement in a latching direction. Overload checking the tailgate includes operating the latch actuator to over-stroke the latch, identifying an over-stroking load on the latch actuator, and based on the over-stroking load on the latch actuator, determining whether the tailgate is overloaded or not overloaded. Over-stroking the latch includes moving the latch in the latching direction from the full-latching position to an over-stroking position, and the over-stroking load on the latch actuator is associated with its operation to over-stroke the latch.
