The on-demand passenger flight was cruising at flight level 190 when the passenger/crew door separated from the airframe. Visual meteorological conditions with no reported turbulence prevailed at the time of the incident. The door was recovered in the locked position. Examination of the door revealed a fatigue fracture of the upper aft latch bolt. There were no indications of damage to the door frame and latch plates.
