## Discrepancy

NOSE GEAR DOORS FAILED TO OPEN ON GEAR RETRACTION.  THE NOSE GEAR DOORS WERE CRUSHED AND THE GEAR DOWNLOCK MECHANISM WAS DAMAGED.  THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON LANDING ROLL-OUT.  THE TWO BOLTS THAT OPERATE THE NOSE GEAR DOORS IN CONJUNCTION WITH GEAR RETRACTION HAD SHEARED DUE TO THE DOORS BINDING, POSSIBLY FROM SNOW AND SLUSH.
