thin, like a decal. the picture I posted looks to be about the same size. I guess I should say similar to a decal but more stable since it's plastic.
Hominid, email sent to me in 2014...
The placard was on the outside of a panel door that was adjacent to the normal airstair
control handle. It was "stuck" there with adhesive. It was probably made of metal foil,
but might have been plastic. Inside that door was the control that the placard related
to, the control for the "emergency" (pneumatic) airstair extension system. The control
was a red handle that had to be pulled hard in order to break a lockwire. NWA did not
want people pulling the handle by mistake thinking it to be the normal way of dropping the
stair. This is why it was inside a "cabinet" and had the lockwire. They didn't want it
to be used for a routine dropping of the airstair because using this system would damage
the stair such that it would have to be repaired before it could be closed and locked for
flight.
