rcsa,

Any door/ hatch not specifically designed to be opened in flight is liable to be damaged; as is the aircraft hull. The hinge attachment points on the door and the fuselage come to mind as possible damage due to turbulence.

The G IV baggage hatch opens internally as does the G V hatch. Th G V hatch is under the port engine pylon. Don't know about other Gulfstream products.
