## Discrepancy

RIGHT SLIDING WINDOW (PILOT'S DOOR) DEPARTED AIRCRAFT.  PILOT REPORTED THE AIR TURBULENCE REMOVED THE WINDOW FROM ITS TRACKS.  AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED UNTIL A REPLACEMENT WINDOW WAS AVAILABLE AND A HIDDEN DAMAGE INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED.  MINOR ALTERATIONS TO THE DESIGN MAY BE INCORPORATED TO PREVENT THE HANDLE FROM HITTING THE SOLID WINDOW, WHICH MAY HAVE SET UP A CRACK IN THE HANDLE ASSY WHICH IS ALSO USED AS THE SLIDE STOP.
