Get pulled over, DW jumps out. Said she had to unlock the door to close it. Get's it closed and puts grab handle back and made sure it was dead bolted …
Upon thinking back, I had not set the dead bolt after closing the door leaving COE park after dumping …
Moral of the story - make sure setting dead bolt is on list
Anyone ever had same issue?

Never had it happen either, but have found both the door handle and deadbolt unlocked. Lucky for us, the slipstream had held the door closed. Scary thought about what could have transpired between take off and landing, if the hinge had not been forward of the door opening and it kept it closed. BTW, door lock-checking is on both our pre-flight check lists now.
