If the door of an Aztec pops open, it will only open about 4-6 inches and

pressure and wasting his or her time.

That's what I wondered. They probably didn't realise they couldn't
close the door in flight, and kept trying. They'd likely be unhappy
to be told that they could have just sat there doing nothing and the
flight wouldn't have changed a bit.

You can close the door in flight. I did it on a Warrior once and that
was from the pilot seat reaching over.
Unless a Warrior is that different from an Aztec, which I haven't flown.
