## Discrepancy

MAIN CABIN DOOR IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN. IT DOES NOT OPEN FREELY AFTER RELEASING THE HANDLE. IT APPEARS THE DOOR MAY BE CATCHING ON THE DOOR SEAL. EVIDENCE OF SOME OF THE DOOR SEAL MAY BE ON THE TOP FOWARD LATCH OF THE DOOR. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS. CORRECTIVE ACTION: LUBRICATED DOOR PINS. PERFORMED MAIN ENTRY DOOR OPERATIONAL CHECK. OPS CHECK SATISFACTORY, NO DEFECTS NOTED. REF: CE-680A AMM 12-20-40, CE-680A AMM 52-10-00.
