I landed without incident (except for the whole shaking cabin and
missing hood) but it was a complete non-event. Just had to jump in here and agree. I had the door on my Warrior pop open on my turn to crosswind after take-off. In the hot Texas summer, I leave the door open as long as possible to try to keep the cabin temp a little cooler than a gas oven. I guess I missed the overhead latch after run-up. I went ahead an made my turn to downwind and reached over and tried to close the door with my free hand. You already know that didn't work. I reduced power and slowed to about 70 Kias and kicked in a lot of right rudder. Closed it with one hand and departed the pattern. Definitely a non-life-threatening event. Its a lot more exciting to say the PM cheated death than the truth. Eddie |
