## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: FLIGHT DECK DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY WHILE IN FLIGHT.  SCREW ON THE FAR-RIGHT SIDE OF THE DOOR IS STICKING UP JUSTENOUGH TO PREVENT THE DOOR FROM CLOSING.  ON THE GROUND THE DOOR WORKS NORMALLY AFTER ARRIVING TO THE GATE. FOUND MULTIPLE FASTENERS ON FLOOR VENT PANEL LOOSE (IDENTIFIED BY PILOT). SECURED AS REQUIRED. DOOR CHECKS GOOD IAW AMM 52-51-00.
