## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: FLIGHT DECK DOOR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO OPEN IN FLIGHT. THE DOOR STRIKES APPEAR TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. MAINTENANCE FOUND LOOSE SCREWS IN VERTICAL FLIGTH DECK DOOR JAMB AND TIGHTENED THE SCREWS. A SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS ACCOMPLISHED PER AMM 52-51-00.
