## Discrepancy

(CAN) FLIGHT CREW HAD REPORTED HEARING A 'LOUD BANG' DURING THE CLIMB, SHORTLY AFTER TAKE-OFF. AT THE TIME, THE AMBER 'R DOOR' LAMP ILLUMINATED ON THE LG ADVISORY PANEL. THIS LAMP REMAINED ILLUMINATED THROUGHOUT THE FLIGHT. AND NO OTHER ABNORMAL INDICATION WAS SEEN UNTIL FLIGHT CREW ATTEMPTED TO EXTEND THE LG ON APPROACH. PRELIMINARY INSPECTION BY ENGINEERING HAS SHOWED THAT THE RT MLG INBOARD MAIN TIRE HAD BLOWN, REPORTEDLY WHILE THE MLG WAS RETRACTING. THIS APPARENTLY DAMAGED THE MLG DOOR MECHANISM, AND JAMMED THE MLG IN THE WHEEL WELL.
