Shock! Horror! Door pops open!

Ok, It coulda been serious...

Once upon a time near Portland Oregon, a Baron in IMC was approaching
the airport from the south with an intrepid aviator flying from the left,
and doing the Jeppsen Revisions on the right seat. Vectors followed, and
when combined with a descent and some turbulence, Pop, the door sprang open
about an inch.

The picture I saw was from the ground with this Baron coming out of the
overcast at high speed in a left bank to base, with a white dotted line
behind him leading up into the overcast. Those pages were about a foot apart
all the way to the runway.

air
pressure and wasting his or her time.

Just curious, could you do a slip to get the door closed? On my plane, I
take
the doors off and fly. Who needs doors?
