## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKE OFF PILOT WAS UNABLE TO RETRACT THE LANDING GEAR, THE GEAR DID SHOW DOWN AND LOCKED.  THE PLANE LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  FOUND NOSE GEAR SAFETY SWITCH BAD INTERNALLY NOT ALLOWING NOSE GEAR TO RETRACT, (SENSING STILL ON GROUND). IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR OF SWITCH.  THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF EXTERNAL DAMAGE.
