WITH A SLIGHT BIT OF HAND PRESSURE, THE NOSE GEAR RETRACTED AND DOORS CLOSED. A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION WAS PERFORMED AND FOUND NOSE GEAR RETRACT ARM ASSY SERIOUSLY CRACKED. A NEW PART WAS INSTALLED AND GER FUNCTINED PROPERLY. DUE TO THE HEAVY WHITE PAINT ON THE DEFECTIVE PART, THE CRACK COULD HAE GONE UNNOTICED FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
