## Discrepancy

(5APR) THE ACFT WAS DEPARTING, ENROUTE. DURING DEPARTURE, THE LANDING GEAR UNLOCKED BUT WOULD NOT RETRACT (3 RED LANDING GEAR LIGHTS). THE CREW SELECTED THE LANDING GEAR CONTROL HANDLE TO THE DOWN POSITION AND GOT 2 GREEN LANDING GEAR LIGHTS INDICATING THAT BOTH MLG WERE DOWN AND LOCKED.  THE CREW HAD TO USE THE HYD SYS HAND PUMP TO GET THE NLG DOWN AND LOCKED (3 GREEN LIGHTS). THE FLIGHT WAS COMPLETED WITH THE LANDING GEAR DOWN.  THE ACFT  TROUBLESHOOTING/REPAIR HAS NOT STARTED YET.
