Unsafe Condition
At least one incident has occurred where, immediately after take-off, the passenger door of a Dornier 328 completely opened. The subsequent investigation could not find any deficiency in the design of the main cabin door locking mechanism, but the most likely way the door opened was that the door handle was inadvertently operated during the take-off run.
