## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: AIRCRAFT DEPARTED ROC ON RUNWAY 28 AT 1930L. AFTER TAKE-OFF, THE PILOT SELECTED GEAR UP BUT THE GEAR WAS STUCK IN DOWN POSITION. ONE INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWED THE NOSE GEAR WAS NOT UP AND LOCKED. THE SECOND REDUNDANT INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWED THE NOSE GEAR AS NORMAL. AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO ROC IMMEDIATELY AND LANDED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. CONTINENTAL EXPRESS DISPATCHED MECHANICS TO ROC FOR REPAIRS. THEY ADJUSTED THE NOSE LANDING GEAR UPLOCK; THEN PERFORMED A GEAR RETRACTION, AND THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD. THIS INCIDENT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
