From Airbus and the NYT

The image is an infographic titled "Airbus cockpit security," illustrating how the cockpit door security system works. It includes a diagram of the cockpit door with numbered steps: 1. The cockpit door is locked by default when closed. 2. If someone outside suspects the pilot is incapacitated, they should first try to establish contact via intercom or activate a buzzer. 3. If unsuccessful, a crew member outside must enter an emergency code on a keypad. 4. Entering the code activates a loud buzzer and flashing light on the cockpit control panel, unlocking the door after 30 seconds. 5. The person outside has five seconds to enter before the door locks again. A note explains that a pilot can lock the door with a toggle switch, disabling the keypad and buzzer, preventing the emergency procedure from working.
