Closing a Cirrus door in flight -- it can be done
I managed to close the door of an SR22 after it popped open in flight
without landing. The trick is to slow to 90 knots and then give the door handle a good yank. It worked for me. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Just fly it into the ground and let the impact deploy the chute. ------------------------------------- DW
