Narrative:

Cabin door came open at approximately 300 ft AGL on takeoff from kissimmee airport (ism). Emergency was declared and radar vectors were secured from orlando approach control for a landing at mco. This event occurred at night, in the rain. The door went to the full open position and remained there for the duration of the flight. Total flight time was 8 mins. The open door caused tremendous wind noise and made communications between the crew and with the ground very difficult. Additionally, several pieces of paper left the flight deck. Anything not secured may become unavailable in an instant. The departure and emergency return procedures had been thoroughly briefed and that helped under difficult communication circumstances. Crew coordination during this event was aided by the fact that we train together in the simulator and have specific company procedures. Although incidents such as this are extremely rare, you cannot be overprepared for such an event. I would urge all flcs to look, then look again, at what they can do to better prepare for an emergency situation.

Title: A RETURN LAND MANDATED OF A CPR JET WHEN THE PAX CREW DOOR COMES FULL OPEN AT 300 FT DEPARTING ISM, FL.

Narrative: CABIN DOOR CAME OPEN AT APPROX 300 FT AGL ON TKOF FROM KISSIMMEE ARPT (ISM). EMER WAS DECLARED AND RADAR VECTORS WERE SECURED FROM ORLANDO APCH CTL FOR A LNDG AT MCO. THIS EVENT OCCURRED AT NIGHT, IN THE RAIN. THE DOOR WENT TO THE FULL OPEN POS AND REMAINED THERE FOR THE DURATION OF THE FLT. TOTAL FLT TIME WAS 8 MINS. THE OPEN DOOR CAUSED TREMENDOUS WIND NOISE AND MADE COMS BTWN THE CREW AND WITH THE GND VERY DIFFICULT. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL PIECES OF PAPER LEFT THE FLT DECK. ANYTHING NOT SECURED MAY BECOME UNAVAILABLE IN AN INSTANT. THE DEP AND EMER RETURN PROCS HAD BEEN THOROUGHLY BRIEFED AND THAT HELPED UNDER DIFFICULT COM CIRCUMSTANCES. CREW COORD DURING THIS EVENT WAS AIDED BY THE FACT THAT WE TRAIN TOGETHER IN THE SIMULATOR AND HAVE SPECIFIC COMPANY PROCS. ALTHOUGH INCIDENTS SUCH AS THIS ARE EXTREMELY RARE, YOU CANNOT BE OVERPREPARED FOR SUCH AN EVENT. I WOULD URGE ALL FLCS TO LOOK, THEN LOOK AGAIN, AT WHAT THEY CAN DO TO BETTER PREPARE FOR AN EMER SIT.
