## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE, CREW NOTICED "FUSELAGE DOOR" INDICATION.  THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF PRESSURIZATION LOSS, BUT CREW ELECTED TO DIVERT TO ALB AS A PRECAUTION.  MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THE DOOR HANDLE WAS POPPED OUT ANT THE INDICATION WENT AWAY ONCE HANDLE WAS SECURED.  MECHANIC RE-CHECKED THE DOOR AND INDICATION AND FOUND IT TO BE FUNCTIONAL.  FAA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BY DIRECTOR OF FLIGHT OPERATIONS.  RE-SECURED DOOR, OPS CHECKED GOOD.
