Abstract
A panel door assembly for providing access to an aircraft passenger suite includes a stationary panel with a side portion extending between upper and lower ends of the panel door assembly. A lower portion of the stationary panel may extend across a width of the panel door assembly and slide along a rail between open and closed positions. A removable panel may connect to the stationary panel and may include a first latching mechanism connecting the removable panel to an upper portion of the stationary panel and a second latching mechanism connecting the removable panel to the lower portion of the stationary panel. An emergency handle may be connected on an inner side of the removable panel, that when actuated, engages the first latching mechanism and the second latching mechanism, disconnecting the removable panel from the stationary panel and providing an egress path from the suite.
