## Discrepancy

DURING THE CLIMBOUT, THE CREW HEARD A BANGING NOISE ON THE FUSELAGE AND RETURNED TO DAY.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND FOUND A PIECE OF WEATHER STRIPPING LOOSE AT THE FORWARD FUSELAGE.  MAINTENANCE THEN TRIMMED THE STRIPPING IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 53-00-00 AND THEN PLACED IT ON THE DMI LIST.
