## Discrepancy

DURING TAKEOFF FROM KTOL TO KLAX ON GEAR RETRACTION HANDLE UP DOOR UNLATCHED LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED.  UP LATCH CHECK LIGHT STAYED ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED WITH HANDLE UP.

OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOUGLAS AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUEL.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
