Summary:
As the aircraft rotated during takeoff, the left-hand door suddenly opened and became detached. 皇冠体育app aircraft landed heavily on its nose landing gear on the runway, resulting in the nosewheel breaking off and consequent damage to the propeller tips. 皇冠体育app aircraft featured doors of a 鈥榞ull-wing鈥� design and it is likely that there was insufficient engagement of the latching bolts with the door frame. 皇冠体育app latching mechanism has subsequently been redesigned.
