## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: FLIGHT DECK DOOR IS HARD TO CLOSE. OPEN LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED WHEN DOOR WAS CLOSED. WAS EXTINGUISHED WHEN THE DOOR WAS SLAMMED. ALSO HARD TO OPEN WITH THE TWIST HANDLE. MAINTENANCE CLEANED THE DEBRIS AND LUBED THE FLIGHT DECK DOOR. A STATSFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS ACCOMPLISHED.
