Unsecured door involving a Piper Aircraft Corp PA-34-200, VH-CRT, Adelaide, SA on 30 December 1992

During the take-off sequence the nose locker door, which had not been correctly secured, came open and separated at the hinge line. The door was struck by the left propeller, damaging the blades. The door became lodged on the leading edge of the left wing and the pilot abandoned the takeoff. The subsequent landing was heavy. In addition to the damage caused by the door, the wings were twisted and the lower wing skins rippled during the heavy landing.
