THE NOSE BAGGAGE DOOR OF THE ACFT CAME OPEN RIGHT AFTER THE GEAR WAS RAISED DURING TAKEOFF. THE PLT SAID THE ACFT BEGAN TO PITCH UP & ROLL RIGHT. HE FELT THAT CONTROL OF THE ACFT WAS IN DOUBT, SO HE ABORTED THE INTERSECTION TAKEOFF & LANDED GEAR-UP ON THE REMAINING RWY. NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG WITH THE UNDAMAGED NOSE BAGGAGE DOOR.
