AFTER LIFT-OFF & GEAR RETRACTION, THE ACFT SETTLED BACK ONTO THE RWY, HIT A BARRIER CABLE, SLID BACKWARD APRX 300 FT & CROSSED A ROAD BEFORE COMING TO REST. THE PLT REPORTED THAT THE CARBURETOR HEAT DOOR HAD COME LOOSE. HOWEVER, AN FAA INSPECTOR EXAMINED THE ACFT & FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CARBURETOR HEAT SYSTEM. ALSO, A MECHANIC REPORTED THATTHE CARBURETOR HEAT DOOR WAS IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE ACFT WAS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR ITS MAXIMUM GROSS WEIGHT.
