## Discrepancy

LANDING GEAR SYS RED (GEAR UNSAFE) WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED FOLLOWING GEAR EXTENSION WHILE LANDING.  ALL (3) GREEN LANDING GEAR DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION INDICATING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.  AC FERRIED FOR REPAIRS.  FOUND LT MLG DOOR POSITION SWITCH S097 FAILED INTERNALLY.  REPLACED S097 SWITCH ASSY WITH SERVICEABLE UNIT, LANDING GEAR RETRACT/EXTENSION SYSTEM TESTS NORMAL.  TRANSIENT AIRCRAFT, UNABLE TO DETERMINE TT ON FAILED SWITCH.  SUGGEST THAT LG POSITION INDICATING SWITCHES BE SCHEDULED REPLACEMENT ITEMS.
