## Discrepancy

AFTER LANDING THE CREW WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE MAIN CABIN DOOR TO EXIT THE AIRCRAFT. THE ENTIRE HANDLE WAS LOCKED IN PLACE. POWERING THE AIRCRAFT DOWN DIDN'T NOT CORRECT THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER, POWERING THE AIRCRAFT BACK UP ALLOWED THE HANDLE TO MOVE AGAIN. AT THE TIME, THE DOOR COULD ALSO NOT BE OPENED FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE AIRCRAFT. THIS IS CONCERNING AS IT IS OUR PRIMARY EMERGENCY EXIT.
