## Discrepancy

GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT AFTER TAKEOFF.  FLIGHT DIVERTED.  A FAILED S106 LANDING GEAR SAFETY SWITCH CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO REMAIN IN THE GROUND MODE, RESULTING IN THE GEAR FAILING TO RETRACT. THE S106 LANDING GEAR SAFETY SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND THE LANDING GEAR EXTENDED AND RETRACTED NORMAL.
