| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The cabin entry door separated from the airplane during climb and was found about 6 miles from the departure airport. The airplane returned to the departure airport and landed without further incident. The door handle was found to be in the latch position and not in the lock position. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation of the door system.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to follow the aircraft checklist in locking the cabin door prior to departure which resulted in its in-flight separation.
