## Discrepancy

THE PILOT WAS INFORMED BY THE FUEL TRUCK DRIVER THAT THE LT MLG IB DOOR WAS NOT PROPERLY LOCKED IN THE UP POSITION, AND THE OB PORTION OF THE DOOR HAD MADE CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY DURING LANDING.  ENGINEERING DEPT RECOMMENDED THAT THE AIRPLANE BE FLOWN BACK UNDER THE AUSPICES OF FAR PART 21.197, SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMITS.
