## Discrepancy

LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT AFTER TAKE-OFF DUE TO GROUND SHIFT FAILURE.  FLIGHT CONTINUED TO DESTINATION (MSP) AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  NOTE:  EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT WAS CALLED OUT AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE.  CYCLED GEAR SEVERAL TIMES.  ALL CHECKED NORMAL.  WASHED GEAR DUE TO HEAVY GRIT AND SERVICE NOSE GEAR STRUT TO PROPER LEVELS.  OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
