Bill, What was your fix/mod for this problem?

Well I have noticed that while flying the doors will try to gap open a little along the leading or front edge of the door. I can assure you we will take a long close look at the latching system, and make mods.

There seems to be a troubling pattern of this happening.  There is a 750 flying at my airport that has had the door open and actually depart the aircraft twice.  I believe there needs to be some kind of seal at the front of the door.

YEP it is a sad thing- but the door did not come off, and not a scratch on anything else. So just have to get one new door and a hinge.So I will be enjoying flying with no doors for a while.

Its a sad thing...but no one was hurt and the elevator / rudder was not damaged. How about the wing ?
