## Discrepancy

THE FIRST OFFICER REPORTED THAT THE LAVATORY DOOR WAS STUCK CLOSED WITH THE CAPTAIN INSIDE DURING FLIGHT.  AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED WHEN A PASSENGER APPROACHED THE COCKPIT TO ALERT THE CO-PILOT OF THE CAPTAIN'S SITUATION.  THE CAPTAIN FREED HIMSELF FROM THE LAVATORY BEFORE LANDING.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSTALLED A NEW GUIDE SCREW ON THE LAVATORY DOOR.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED.
