The paper in questions has a number of signatures and is presented in a way (maybe not intended) that implies it has some authority. It suggests a hypothesis based on some anecdotal reports, offers some airflow diagrams without testing and a conclusion. There is no independent engineering data presented. I suggest, how about a nose down condition, might force the canopy closed, I can’t prove it but it seems rational, and that’s the problem here. I have no issues if the authors wish to offer an opinion which I agree mostly with, but do we really need another paper to remind people to latch the canopy or any number of other things? I believe Lancair is as concerned about safety as anyone.  The latch mechanism as designed works, Lancair incorporates a warning sensor into their avionics installs. Builders can do the same. If the authors feels so strongly about presenting this paper, present it to Lancair and  get their endorsement.
