Lifting assembly for an aircraft door

A door assembly for an aircraft, the door assembly comprising:

• a door;
• a door handle for the door, and the door handle is rotatable about a door handle rotational axis between an unlatched position and a latched position;
• a door hinge;
• a support assembly including a forearm rotatably mounting the door hinge to the door;
• and
• a lifting assembly including a latch cam, a lift track, and a latch idler, the latch cam is mounted to the door handle, the latch cam is rotatable with the door handle about the door handle rotational axis, the latch cam forms an eccentric roller path extending about the door handle rotational axis, the lift track is disposed on the forearm, the latch idler includes an idler body, a first roller, and a second roller, the idler body has a center axis, the idler body includes a first arm portion and a second arm portion, the first arm portion extends radially outward from the center axis to a first distal end of the first arm portion, the second arm portion extends radially outward from the center axis to a second distal end of the second arm portion, the first roller is rotatably mounted to the first arm portion at the first distal end, the first roller is disposed on the lift track, the second roller is rotatably mounted to the second arm portion at the second distal end, the second roller is disposed within the roller path, the idler body is rotatably mounted to the door, the latch idler is configured to lift the door from a lowered position of the door to a raised position of the door as the door handle rotates from the latched position to the unlatched position;
• wherein the idler body further includes a third arm portion, the third arm portion extends radially outward from the center axis to a third distal end of the third arm portion, and the latch idler is rotatably mounted to the door at the third distal end.
