## Discrepancy

DUE TO BROKEN L1 CLOSED LIMIT SWITCH ACTUATING BRACKET NEEDS TO DEFER L1 DOOR ELEC ACTUATOR.  L1 DOOR CLOSED MANUALLY IAW MM 52-11-02-2, USE R1 DOOR FOR ENTRY.   L1 ELEC DOOR ACTUATOR INOPERATIVE.  FOR EMER EGRESS, USE PNEUMATIC SYS TO OPEN  DOOR.  PN ABA8399-503 BRACKET ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE DOOR THAT ACTUATES SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.  REF IPC 52-11-70-01 ITEM 17 IS CORRECT PART BUT IPC HAS AFFECTIVITY ONLY FOR TAIL 614 & 616.  REF WRI 52-10 5578 FOR PART ORDER.  R & R L1 DOOR CLOSED LIMIT STRIKER BRACKET ASSEMBLY IAW SMP.  PERFORMED ADJUSTMENT & TEST OF DOOR CLOSED SWITCH IAW MM 52-11-02-5.  ALL TEST PASSED.
