| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During the initial part of the take-off roll at Glasgow with a planned destination of Narsarsuaq, Greenland the crew door opened and was struck by the right-hand propeller. The aircraft was stopped and the departure delayed for repairs. The co-pilot had closed the crew door and confirmed it to be latched. However, investigation by the crew after the event determined that the 'safety latches were bent' and that it was possible for the door to appear correctly closed without proper latch engagement.
