(David Fitzgerald) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 10:51:10 AM PST US Subject: Commander-List: Re: Flying with doors removed. From: "Peter Bichier" Bill, I just got a response from a comment after I noticed that this guy has a picture of a 500S flying over the ocean with his main door opened. If you think the comment is worth pursuing, this guy also seems to know the paperwork track... They are all from "down under" so our folks there can continue assisting translating (although I noticed that some are part of this group too) otherwise, I can contact them through Facebook if you want further info (I'm afraid you'll have to sign in if you want to see the picture -not super quality, but door definitively open in flight!). hope this alternate view helps: Rod Smith also commented on Dean Erwin's photo... From: Facebook (notification+m1pwu-id@facebookmail.com) Sent: Wed 3/04/09 1:04 PM Rod replied after your comment on Dean Erwin's photo: "This was a fibreglass 'plug' door. The suction around the body pretty much held it there, plus some internal pins front and back. To open it the pins came out and you had to pull the door in slightly and slide it forward. We had an AFM supplement, not sure if Dave still has one in EXC's AFM though."

If so, could you send me contact information?

Well spotted Peter! Dr David Fitzgerald... the current owner of 500S VH-EXC is a member of this list I am sure he would be 'close' to the paperwork and logbook entries in relation to this mod.

Plane is remote from me at the moment but I'll see the flight manual on Saturday and see if I can find the paperwork and scan and post it to the list then.
