I once had the passenger-side door of my Rockwell 112TC-A
spring open on climb-out (I hadn't checked how the pax had closed it). Aside
from the noise issue, I noticed no significant handling issue. Closing
& securing the door in flight was a two-to-three-handed operation - door
grip, latch handle and upper lock must be worked almost simultaneously against
the suction. I leveled off momentarily while Pax and I closed it
together. I noticed that pushing the door outward for a stronger "slam"
met even more resistance. Maximum untouched opening was only a couple of
inches. It's hard to imagine a forward latched Lancair canopy opening more
than that against the slipstream and causing anything more than a
distraction. Would it open more if the aircraft were stalling
out?

That is correct. Fly the plane.... Be aware of pitch
differences.
