## Discrepancy

ON APPROACH, UPON LOWERING LANDING GEAR, NOSE GEAR INDICATED UNSAFE (RED GEAR LIGHT ON, GREEN LIGHT OUT).  RAN EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, CYCLED GEAR AND GOT 3 DOWN INDICATIONS.  CLEANED SNOW AND ICE FROM LOCK AND POSITION SWITCHES CLEANED CONNECTOR.  NOSE GEAR STILL SHOWS GREEN DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATION.  OK FOR SERVICE.
