## Discrepancy

PASSENGER DOOR POWER ASSIST SYSTEM IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN CLOSING DOOR. WHEN AIRSTAIR DOOR SWITCH IS
RELEASED AS DOOR CLOSES TOWARDS THE TOP OF ITS CYCLE, DOOR WILL FREE FALL TO OPEN POSITION. FROM CABIN, WHEN
DOOR REACHES TOP OF CYCLE TO CLOSE, THERE APPEARS TO BE A GAP ON REAR SIDE OF THE DOOR MAKING ACTUATION OF
DOOR CLOSING LEVER DIFFICULT
