I totally agree with Scott's post. I feel very comfortable with the doors being closed for similar reasons that Scott posted. I also feel the door closed lights are a must install. I think I've posted this before, but because of the various door coming open issues I never let a passenger close the door. If I have a passenger I stay outside the airplane until that person is strapped in and then I close their door from the outside and double checked that it's locked in place.

NEVER LET THE PASSENGER CLOSE THE DOOR. I owned a Cardinal RG for 29 years and I let the passenger close the door once. They managed to keep pushing until they sheared the pin in the handle. result : a grounded aircraft until I disassembled the door and was able to close and return to base to order a part from Cessna. If you have a facade in the aircraft that covers the pins then install the lights. I don't and I manually feel the pins twice (before taxi and before takeoff). I made that decision after calling another member of the list whom I asked how did the door come off. His reply was : which time? He then related that he lost a door without the lights and then again with the lights. In contrast to the current administration, I want to keep a little freedom to be responsible for my own actions. Responsibility ultimately rests with the nut on the stick.
