According to information relayed from air traffic control records, the pilot requested to turn back for an emergency landing, but there were issues with the radio connection due to the wind noise caused by the open door. One of the air traffic controllers reported the situation with the statement, "Get out of the way... The plane crashed in the wooded area of the parking lot just behind the terminal."
