## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER FLIGHT, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE RT INBD MLG DOOR WAS HANGING OPEN.  NO NOISE WAS HEARD IN FLIGHT DURING EXTENSION AND RETRACTION AND THE LANDING GEAR SYS FUNCTIONED NORMALLY.  IT WAS FOUND THAT THE IDLER BELLCRANK THAT CONTROLS THE DOOR MOVEMENT HAD SHEARED, MECHANICALLY ISOLATING THE DOOR FROM THE RETRACTION MECHANISM.
