I had unfortunately to fly with the passenger door off as it departed
the
ship due to the passenger shocking the lock with his elbow=85 Kind of
=93depressurization=94, all the papers flown in the cockpit with a big
noise and
buffeting like in a storm on a boat! My first reaction was to fly the
ship
and then look where to land. As we were fortunately close to our harbor
I
started to lower the speed and was quite surprised to see that by 80Kt
when
I put the flaps out it came back to a normal behavior (actually I=92m
not even
sure if it was =93un-normal=94 reducing from cruise speed except noise
and wind
inside after it happened or few seconds later)... and I standard landed.
So to me under 100 Kt or so, flying with a door off should be a non-even
but
I wouldn=92t either have to try it again.

David=85was this done with only ONE door off, or both doors

for some unknown reason, when we were on final approach I put my hand up
on
the windscreen surround where the door would normally shut, and it
suddenly
all went peaceful (maybe there is an airflow problem that can be
overcome in
a similar way that car sunroofs often have a pop up deflector that
activates
when the roof is open).
=85so with some sort of =93pop up deflector=94, might we be
talking
about open cockpit ops, leather jackets, and silk scarves to boot in the
good ol=92 summertime?
