## Discrepancy

ON LANDING, THE PILOT SELECTED THE GEAR DOWN AND NEVER GOT A GREEN DOWN AND LOCK LIGHT IN THE CABIN FOR THE RT MAIN GEAR.  THE GEAR DOWNLOCK MICRO-SWITCH ACTUATOR ARM WAS BROKEN AND WOULD NOT ACTUATE THE MICRO-SWITCH.  THESE ACTUATOR ARMS SEEM TO GET WEAK OVER TIME.  THERE WAS NO OTHER REASON FOR THE ARM TO FAIL.  (K)
