## Discrepancy

FLT 6532 - IAD-ORF - ABORTED TAKEOFF DUE TO A BAGGAGE DOOR LIGHT ILLUMINATION.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO THE GATE WHERE THE MAINTENANCE TECHNICIANS TROUBLESHOT THE DISCREPANCY AND FOUND THAT THE BAGGAGE BAY DOOR MICROSWITCH HAD FAILED.  OPENED A DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ITEM UNDER 52-3 IAW WITH DEFERRED MX PROCEDURES.  MAINTENANCE CLOSED DMI 40824, BY INSPECTING BAGGAGE BAY DOOR, COULD NOT DUPLICATE FAULT.  AIRCRAFT WAS THEN RELEASED AND APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.  (M)
