Note1: Although this issue was experienced in SU3 Beta build v1.5.16.0, it may occur in the release build, so is being reported in Bug Reporting Hub > Aircraft & Systems . If users report that the pilot’s door operates in the release build, then this would be a regression & I’ll move the topic to #su3:su3-aircraft .
Note 2: This bug is different from this aircraft’s main door, which was fixed in v1.5.15.0.
Edit: Removed references to cockpit view door handle as this does work as long as you unlock the door handle first, as per @DementedCorn327’s screenshot. 
ISSUE DESCRIPTION

The cockpit (pilot’s) door fails to open from the outside.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
Cessna 404 Titan

Every time
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- In free flight, select the Cessna 404 Titan, choose any airport parking spot, and just for convenience, daytime with clear weather. Start the flight
- Skip the walkaround, but walk over the the pilots door. Note that it has no click spot (screenshot 1).
Expected behavior:
- There is an operational click spot for the pilot’s door in the external view, as the door is operational from within the cockpit (see screenshot in @DementedCorn327 's post below).
