## Discrepancy

WHEN THE GEAR WAS SELECTED DOWN, THE CREW DID NOT HAVE A GREEN INDICATION ON THE LEFT GEAR.  CYCLED GEAR, NO HELP, THEN PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY EXTENSION.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AND WAS TOWED TO THE HANGAR.  THE LOWER DRAG BRACE BEARING HAD SHIFTED IN THE CASTING.  REF:  OPERATOR CONTROL NR 96-001.
