Jim
Sorry to hear about the door problem. To the best of my knowledge all
instances of a door opening in flight have been as a result of the rear
shoot bolt not being properly engaged. There could be a first time for a
different cause but.... Did you manage to recover the door?
There were problems with the length of engagement of the door pins early on
but I suspect this had been checked on your aircraft.

Subject: Europa-List: DOOR detached during flight
Sadly during the permit renewal test flight ,The P1 Door detached,Luckily no
one was her and G-fixy was landed safely .
It Was flown be the engineer and text pilot they had not started testing the
aircraft ,and was in level flight when the door went as it did it impacted
the elevator and to a large chunk out.
They say The doors Were both Closed correctly so we are not sure if the
hinge at the front failed causing the door to detach ,they don't look very
strong.
Has This Happened Before ?
thats my flying done for a while :( :( :(
