Phase II cockpit door?
Does anyone know what the different classifications for cockpit doors are? Specifically phase II? I was filling out the app for an FFDO and it asks "Do you currently fly an aircraft with a Phase II (hardened) cockpit door?"

I could be wrong.... Perhaps things have changed.

Do you know how to use a sextant to navigate by the stars? No? Dont they teach pilots navigation anymore?

Thanks all. Other than the requirement to lock it prior to departure, we didn't cover anything about what type of door it is, nor would I expect anyone to. I know after 911 they needed to be reinforced but I have no clue on the different classifications. Some have access pads, so I was thinking that might be part of the different classes of doors.
