## Discrepancy

THE CREW REPORTED THAT AFTER TAKE OFF THEY RECEIVED A GEAR FAULT CAUTION MESSAGE UPON RETRACTING THE LANDING GEAR. THEY RETURNED TO FIELD WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE FOUND A STICKING LEFT-HAND UPLOCK SWITCH. THE SWITCH WAS CLEANED AND LANDING GEAR SWINGS PERFORMED WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED.
