## Discrepancy

MAIN DOOR HARDWARE: THE MAIN CABIN DOOR WILL CLOSE ELECTRICALLY BUT WILL NOT LOCK. INSPECTION OF THE DOOR REVEALS THAT THE MIDDLE LOCKING PIN ON THE AFT SIDE OF THE DOOR HAS WITHDRAWN OUT OF ITS BUSHING AND INTO THE DOOR INTERIOR. ACTUATING THE LOCKING HANDLE CAUSES IT TO MOVE FURTHER INWARD AND LATERALLY AWAY FROM ITS HOLE. // SIGNOFF// FOUND PIN PUSHED BACK AND OUT OF ALIGNMENT, RE-ALIGNED PIN AND ADJUSTED PUSH ROD TO TAKE UP THE SLACK AND PREVENT THE PIN FROM PUSHING BACK OUT, OPS CHECKS GOOD, ALL WORK DONE I.A.W.
