Raised Threshold, Gull Wing Doors & Piano Hinges
I've never been a fan of the Bearhawk's swing out door that conflicts with the wing strut. When the lower portion of the door swings out, it hits the strut. The workaround has always been what some call a "mouse door" at the bottom of the swing out to allow more door travel. Personally, I think it just looks bad... And functionally, it's just something you always have to be mindful of. Passengers will always want to put their weight on the swing out when climbing in. Who needs it? I'm going to eliminate the swing out door completely.
