## Discrepancy

NOSE LANDING GEAR WAS EXTENDED, BUT DID NOT LOCK IN THE DOWN POSITION.  SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE NLG MAIN DRIVE ASSY WAS BROKEN.  THE ANNUAL AND 100-HOUR INSPECTION WERE COMPLETED APRIL 19, 1996.  TACHOMETER 766.3.  TOTAL TIME:  3,900.8 HOURS.  AIRCRAFT WAS PAINTED DECEMBER 22, 1995.  THE INTERMEDIATE GEAR DRIVE TABLE ASSY WAS BENT.  SUBMITTER STATED IMPROPER RIGGING MAY BE THE CAUSE.
