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
Immediately after raising the gear handle during takeoff, the pilot heard a loud noise that he thought was an explosion. He aborted the takeoff and landed on the remaining runway without extending the gear. The loud noise occurred when the cabin door popped open.
