Originally published at: Two Killed in Cessna 340 Plane Crash
Pilot and passenger die after Cessna 340 goes down near Hooks Airport.
Since the plane had flown in successfully, and all they did was add fuel, I wonder if jet fuel was loaded instead of avgas?
Probably not. It was in the air too long and the writer, for some reason , left out that the pilot reported an open door, but not which one.
The reported mechanical issue was that the door opened up at takeoffâŚ

Door opened on takeoff. When are we going to learn to âfly the planeâ. Weather it was the baggage door on the nose, or the cabin door, the plane will fly. More airspeed is needed because of the added drag. I saw the video. They got too slow on approach and dropped a wing into terrain. Perhaps âopen doorâ should be in the pre-flight briefing.
The C-340 only has one door.
The Cessna 340 has a cabin door (upper and lower), nose baggage door, and nacelle baggage doors.
