HI THERE

IS YOUR BAGGAGE DOOR POSITIVELY LOCKED?

There was a relatively recent accident with a Lancair IV possibly caused by=
 the baggage door.

The plane did not have locks on the baggage door, instead it had a nice con=
venient button to release the=20
baggage door like the one on your car.
       GREAT. but, the likely cause of the death of two experienced pilots =
is that the door came open in flight and the
 airplane cover that was stored in the baggage area was sucked out and wrap=
ped itself around the tail feathers.

then NO MORE CONTROL     just down.

the idea of this neat door opener inside the cabin seems great. what a conv=
enience. and

  WHO WOULDA THUNK.

hit the button by mistake; or the lock system fails... THEN YOU DIE.

my first thought of a solution would be to put the door opener in series wi=
th the green gear lights,=20

no light, no door open, but what about in the pattern? well that leads to h=
aving a squat switch on the gear.
no squat; no baggage open.

My plane is simple, one cannot take the key out of the lock when the door i=
s unlocked. upon thinking about this=20
accident, i thought "wow, a fail proof system was built in, and i was total=
ly unaware of the thinking behind such a simple setup"

THE CHANGE to a button is a perfect example of the law of unintended conseq=
uences.

or be careful of what you wish for.
