| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The airplane veered off the runway and came to rest in a ditch during takeoff. The pilot reported that the cabin door came open during takeoff. He intended to continue the takeoff and return to land and close the door; however, the passenger in the right front seat distracted him. In the time necessary to calm and reassure the passenger, the pilot lost directional control of the aircraft and it drifted off the runway to the left. The nearest aviation surface weather observation, at an airport 6 miles away, was reporting calm wind conditions.
Probable Cause: The failure of the pilot-in-command to maintain directional control of the aircraft on takeoff after the cabin door became ajar.
