## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT, THE LT ENGINE INBOARD COWLING DOOR CAME OPEN.  AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED AND LANDED SAFELY.  C/A:  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE COWLING DOOR AND UPPER COWLING.  NO ADDITIONAL PARTS OR REPAIRS WERE NECESSARY.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS GOOD.  AIRCRAFT OK FOR SERVICE.
