A handle assembly (20) for an aircraft door (12) includes a shaft (50) to open the door, an exterior handle (22) deployable between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a clutch (40) having a driving member (46) coupled to the exterior handle and a driven member (52) coupled to the shaft. The clutch is configurable between a disengaged configuration in which the driving member and the driven member are disengaged, and an engaged configuration in which the driving member and the driven member are engaged so that actuation of the exterior handle rotates the shaft to open the door. Rotation of the exterior handle between the stowed position and the deployed position drives an axial movement of the driving member toward the driven member to configure the clutch to the engaged configuration.
