## Discrepancy

ON DESCENT FOR APPROACH INTO KHOU THE FLIGHT CREW SELECTED LANDING DOWN AFTER LANDING GEAR EXTENDED DOWN THE CREW DID NOT HAVE NOSE GEAR DOWN AND LOCK LIGHT COME ON ALL OTHER INDICATION AND WERE GOOD. FLIGHT CREW NOTIFIED ATC THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO CIRCLE THE AIRPORT TO CHECK NOSE LANDING GEAR INDICATION SYSTEM OUT, THAT THEY WERE NOT GETTING A DOWN AND LOCK LIGHT ON THE NOSE GEAR. WHILE THE FLIGHT CREW CIRCLE THE AIRPORT THEY CYCLIC THE  LANDING GEAR SYSTEM. WHEN THEY CYCLIC THE LANDING SYSTEM AGAIN NOSE GEAR INDICATION WORKED AND ALL OTHER INDICATION SYSTEM CHECKED GOOD. AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY. CHOICE AVIATION MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT CONTRACTED TEXTRON AVIATION AT KHOU TO INSPECT THE  NOSE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM FOR ANY DEFECTS OR MALFUNCTION. NO FAULTS FOUND ON VISUAL INSPECTION , PERFORMED LANDING EXTENSION AND RETRACT CHECKS NO FAULTS NOTED. AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASE TO RETURN TO SERVICE
