## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER LANDING, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE NOSE U/C LT DOOR HAD COME OPEN IN FLIGHT. THE CONNECTING ROD WAS FOUND TO BE SHEARED. DURING INSPECTION NO DISTRESS OR DETERIORATION COULD BE FOUND TO ACCOUNT FOR THE SHEARED ROD. LOCAL DAMAGE TO THE LT U/C DOOR HINGE IS ATTRIBUTED TO BEING OPEN IN FLIGHT. NO SECONDARY DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE WAS FOUND. THE DOOR AND CONNECTING ROD WERE CHANGED AND THE SYSTEM FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY DURING RETRACTION TESTS.
