## Discrepancy

MAIN DOOR: UPON ARRIVAL AND WHILE DEPARTING THE AIRCRAFT, THE MAIN CABIN DOOR WOULD NOT SELF-RELEASE WHEN DOOR HANDLE WAS SELECTED TO THE OPEN POSITION. REPEAT WRITE UP.  COMPLETED 3 OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF MAIN CABIN DOOR. FOUND TO BE ACCEPATABLE IN OPERATION WITH A SLIGHT NUDGE. NOTIFED MCC. MCC RECOMMENDED THE DOOR GAS STRUT RIGGING CHECKED. GAINED ACCESS TO GAS STRUT. FOUND THE STRUT RIGGING TO BE NOT IN A NEUTRAL POSITION PER AMM. ADJUSTED GAS STRUT TO PROPER RIGGING. C/W S DOOR OPERATIONAL CHECKS AND DOOR NOW FREE FALLS ON ITS OWN FROM CLOSED POSTION AS REQUIRED. ALL WORK PER CE680A AMM 52-10-00. CLOSE UP ACCESS AS NEEDED.
