## Narrative

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

DURING THE DEPARTURE CLIMB-OUT THE COMMERCIAL RATED PILOT WAS INSTRUCTED BY ATC TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND STANDARD RATE TURN. THE PACKAGES IN THE NOSE CARGO COMPARTMENT SHIFTED AGAINST THE DOOR. THE ADDED PRESSURE CAUSED THE CARGO DOOR LATCH TO RELEASE. THE PACKAGES DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT, A FEW HITTING THE RIGHT SIDE PROPELLER. THE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIMITED TO A PROPSTRIKE. NEITHER THE PILOT NOR PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES.

AIRCRAFT RECORDS WERE REVIEWED AND FOUND TO HAVE PROPER AIRCRAFT CERTIFICATION AND CURRENT AIRCRAFT INSPECTION STATUS. PILOT RECORDS WERE REVIEWED AND FOUND TO HAVE THE CORRECT CERTIFICATION AND QUALIFICATION FOR THE FLIGHT.

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.
