## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMBOUT, THE GEAR DOOR WARNING LIGHT WAS INTERMITTENTLY FLASHING.  THE CREW CYCLED THE LANDING GEAR AND PERFORMED A GEAR UPLATCH CHECK, ALL INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE GEAR DOOR WARNING SYSTEM AND TRACED THE DISCREPANCY TO THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR DOOR SWITCH.  THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND A SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONAL CHECK WHICH RETURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE.
