## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)^PRIVACY DATA ^ A PRIVATE PILOT WHILE FLYING N9023Q, A BEECH BE-58-58, ENROUTE AT 12,000 TO KMSN HAD THE FRONT OASSENGER DOOR OPEN. THE PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND ATC VECTORED THE AIRCRAFT TO VYS.  THE PILOT SUFFERING FROM HYPOTHERMIA LANDED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE RIGHT OF RUNWAY 36 IN IMC CONDITIONS.  THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND NO INJURIED TO THE PILOT AS A RESULT OF THE LANDING.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
