## Discrepancy

DURING A 135 FLIGHT WITH A PATIENT ON BOARD A CREW MEMBER TRIED TO CLOSE THE RT REAR SLIDING DOOR THE DOOR WOULD CLOSE BUT WOULD NOT LATCH SHUT, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AT IFP WHERE THE DOOR WAS REPLACED, THE MECHANICS VERIFIED THAT THE DOOR CLOSED AND LATCHED. AFTER TEARING THE DOOR HANDLE APART THE MECHANIC FOUND THE THE SPRING THAT LATCHED THE DOOR HAD BROKEN AND REPLACED IT.
