Hi!
Today I made aflight an instead of unloading the PAX through menu I opened the door to let them off the plane. Thereafter I started a new flight but
forgot about the door. I realized it when upon takeoff roll the passengers fear rose and my Co pilot told me about it.
I immediatly closed the door and it was shut before i was in the air.
still my passengers were horrified and I had to declare emergeny and finaly got badly penalized. also the wind was blowing through my cockpit the
whole flight.
Now I understand that starting with an open door in a bad beginning for the fligh so passenger opinion and a penalty is justified. but is there a way
to handle the event differently when on ground than in the air? I mean it was not as if I had pressed Shift-E at FL 350. In fact the flight itself
was quite normal.
