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

WHILE ENROUTE FROM OKMULGEE AIRPORT (OKM) TO TULSA RIVERSIDE (RVS). THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR, SITTING RIGHT SIDE OF AIRCRAFT, AND STUDENT PILOT, SITTING LEFT SIDE OF AIRCRAFT, WERE PERFORMING A TRAINING FLIGHT AT 2200 FEET ABOUT 1 MILE FROM LEONARD, OK WHEN THE RIGHT ENTRY DOOR SUDDENLY DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT. DURING THE INTERVIEW, THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT STATED THAT THE DOOR DEPARTED ABRUPTLY, AND HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE STUDENT PILOT. HE THEN MADE SURE THAT HE WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE AIRCRAFT, AND MAINTAIN ALTITUDE. HE THEN CONTACTED TULSA 134.7 TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY AND THEN PROCEEDED TO TULSA RIVERSIDE AIRPORT (RVS). THE AIRCRAFT HANDLED WELL, AND HE WAS ABLE TO LAND AT TULSA RIVERSIDE AIRPORT (RVS) WITH NO OTHER ISSUES.

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.
