## Discrepancy

IN FLIGHT , AT 90KIAS, A BANG WAS FELT IN FLOOR, STUDENT IN MARTIN BAKER SEAT DETERMINED THAT THE LEFT SLIDING DOOR UPPER BRACKET BROKE AND DOOR WAS HANGING BETWEEN FUSELAGE AND STEP (ONLY ATTACHED BY AFT SLIDER). STUDENT IN AFT SEAT HELD ON TO DOOR DURING APROACH AND LANDING.

MAINTENANCE REPLACED UPPER CAR ASSEMBLY AND REINSTALLED DOOR IAW AMM 52-13-00,4-2. MOC OK.
