## Discrepancy

LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT AFTER TAKEOFF.  FLIGHT RETURNED TO MEM, AND LANDED WITH MAIN GEAR DOORS DOWN.  FOUND BYPASS HANDLE SPRINGS WEAK.  REPLACED SPRINGS, AND  REPLACED THE LEFT AND RIGHT MAIN GEAR DOORS DUE TO DAMAGE INCURRED.  OPERATIONAL CHECK OK.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
