Opening plane door on landing.

[The Maytag Man]

My google'ing didn't come up with an answer, so obviously I'd ask you guys!

Been watching that show 'Dangerous Flights' and noticed that every time they land they always immediately open the door on the plane. (while taxi'ing on the runway)

This have anything to do with pressurization?

What type of plane? It could be just for "ventilation" no AC on the plane and it gets hot on the ground quickly.

Depends on what the pilot had for lunch. Burritos? Yeah....door crack time.

Probably this, we pop the aft hatch and cargo door when we're stuck on the ground waiting on customs.

few different planes i noticed they did it on. basically as soon as they land they pop the door

bonanza, navajo

Yep, keep the flow going so it doesn't get hot.

We used to do that in the 402 to keep cool. In fact...

But why'd you have to do it in New Bedford? That meth lab smell doesn't come out of clothing, you know

if its hot as t1ts, crack open the door/canopy

On the Beech we have an ACP and we have a VCM (works like a car's AC .... which is all it is) but we still open our vent windows on the ground to get more outside air flowing the avionics just get very hot in the cockpit.
On the Saab, there are no windows to open and I heard it gets really hot !
