Absolutely. The original post regarding loss of door during flight asserted that
the test pilot said the shoot bolts were engaged normally and it must have been
the forward hinge that failed. I am assuming it was an aluminum hinge.
I am not suggesting that SS hinges would keep your door on the airplane if the
door ain't closed properly!
