What was found
DURING FLIGHT, 6.5 MILES FROM PAKN TO THE SOUTH, I EXPERIENCED TURBULENCE. THE REAR CARGO DOOR LATCHING MECHANISM(ROD THAT CONNECTS THE TWO LATCHES) SHEARED IN FLIGHT. THE REAR DOOR OPENED. TOWER CLEARED ME TO LAND AND I PROCEEDED TO LAND ON 30 NORMALLY. THERE WERE THREE PASSENGERS ON BOARD. I CAN NOT CONFIRM IF THE AFT PASSENGER WHO WAS SITTING BY THE DOOR WAS LEANING ON THE DOOR OR NOT (HE CLAIMS TO HAVE NOT BEEN). NO ONE WAS INJURED AND WE EXPERIENCED NO ADVERSE AFFECTS TO FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS.
