## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT RETURNED DUE TO DURING CLIMB WHEN SELECTING LANDING GEAR UP CABIN CREW DETECTED A STRONG NOISE AND THE NOSE LANDING GEAR LIGHT DID NOT TURN OFF.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE RIGHT AND LEFT NOSE GEAR FORWARD DOOR IN CONDITION DOWN AND UP RESPECTIVELY, SO THE DRIVE RELEASE MECHANISM OF THE RIGHT NOSE GEAR FORWARD DOOR WAS REPLACED IAW 32-22-01, TESTED CORRECT.  THE OVERWEIGHT INSPECTION WAS NOT NECESSARY DUE TO THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH 135,000 POUNDS AND THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LANDING WEIGHT IS 139,500 POUNDS.
