I discovered that when my passenger secured the
safety belt, the long excessive length of lap belt was hanging out the door
before the door was closed.

Been there, done that, Eric. Only that it was my own belt hanging out.

But, for my passengers, I have made a "preflight" instructions that they can read while I do my own preflight. The plastified card is always in my right door side pocket.

It says, in Norwegian, approximatively the following:
- As a passenger in a hombuilt aircraft, you are not covered by your normal insurance but by the aircraft compulsory third-party insurance.
- The flight is for your pleasure. If, at any time, it feels unpleasant, please notify the pilot and he will return as soon as possible to the airfield.
- When you hear ATC speaking, stop talking to the pilot, it may be a message addressed to us.
- If you lean heavily on the door, it may open. Simply pull it closed again, it doesn't affect the flight.
- Under take-off and landing, make sure you give the pilot enough room for the stick and pedals since he may need full deployment.

My passengers take this information very positively.

Cheers,
Michel

That's a really good idea. I'm going to do that too.
