## Discrepancy

YYC - AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO FIELD WHEN THE FORWARD BAGGAGE DOOR INDICATED OPEN AFTER AIRCRAFT ROTATION. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE DOOR AND FOUND THE PROXIMITY SENSOR STICKING. CLEANED AND LUBED PROXIMITY SENSOR. OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS PERFORMED AND THE DOOR INDICATION IS NORMAL. AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
