REFLECTOR: Air Stair

Chris, this a Velocity Standard, which normally has a canopy style cockpit. You have to climb on the wing to get in.

Newer Velocitys have side opening doors.

These guys are adding a side opening door to a plane that didn't have it before, so the step feature is just a variation on that customization.

It wouldn't make much sense unless you had a standard that you were adding a side door to.

Yeah, but my first thought was with the gull wing doors thus my curiosity as it does not seem to add much of ease of access.  Maybe it does. I tend to just plop my butt on the seat and pull my legs in as I swivel to face forward. No climbing. Perhaps it
 eases getting in the back seats. 

As to the clam style, it would seem better to have a step that's with you all the time and takes up no additional space.

Some folks have trouble getting up and in, especially into the back, and this gives you a convenient step...
