## Discrepancy

MAIN DOOR: MAIN CABIN DOOR DOES NOT OPEN PROPERLY AND REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO OPEN. ONCE LATCH IS RELEASED, DOOR OPENS ABOUT 3 INCHES THEN STOPS AND DOOR HAS TO BE PUSHED OR PULLED TO OPEN FULLY.

CORRECTIVE ACTION: 
CONFIRMED DOOR SEAL WAS CAUSING THE MED TO HANG UP. REINSTALLED DOOR SEAL AND MED
WAS HANGING UP AGAIN. LOOSENED UPPER CORNERS AND REINSTALLED DOOR SEAL + CLEAN &
LUBRICATED DOOR SEAL AND OPENED DOOR SEVERAL TIMES FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF
AIRCRAFT AND NOW DOOR OPENS FULLY NORMALLY WITHOUT EXTRA FORCE NEEDED. OPS CHECK
GOOD
