## Discrepancy

FCA - FLIGHT 2347 - AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO FIELD WHEN AFTER TAKE-OFF THE CREW GOT A FUSELAGE DOOR WARNING LIGHT FOR THE FORWARD BAGGAGE DOOR. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE DOOR AND FOUND THE LATCHING MECHANISM STICKING. THE LATCHING MECHANISM WAS CLEANED AND LUBED. OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
