## Discrepancy

DURING A STALL RECOVERY, THE PILOT PLACED THE GEAR SELECTOR IN THE DOWN POSITION. HE HAD NO GEAR SAFE INDICATION AND THE GEAR HORN WOULD SOUND. AFTER AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING, THE MX CREW NOTICED THAT THE GEAR DOWNLOCK ARM, PN-76426-003 WAS BROKEN WHICH ALLOWED THE DOWNLOCK ASSY, PN-67150-005 TO BREAK FREE.
