## Narrative

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

(-23)NORMAL TAKEOFF FROM BCT RUNWAY 05. ON CROSSWIND 2 MILES FROM AIRPORT, CABIN DOOR OPENED IN FLIGHT.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO BCT AND LANDED ON RUNWAY 05, GEAR UP.  PILOT STATED CONFUSION AND NOISE OF OPEN DOOR CAUSED DISTRACTION THAT RESULTED IN HIM FORGETTING TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR.  HE DID NOT HEAR THE GEAR WARNING HORN BECAUSE OF THE NOISE FROM THE OPEN DOOR.

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.
