Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
During takeoff roll, the acft door popped open at a point too late to abort the takeoff. The PIC tried to hold the door closed while the second plt flew the acft around the traffic pattern. Just prior to touchdown, the door opened wider and the PIC reached to try to close it. The acft rolled to the right hitting the rwy with the right main fuel tank and propeller. Winds were reported from 220 degs at 15 KTS gusting to 25 KTS.
