What was found

THE NOSE GEAR SELECTOR VALVE FAILS ON THE RETRACT MODE. IF IT FAILS AFTER THE GEAR HAS ALREADY EXT., THE ONLY SYMPTOM IS A LOSS OF NOSE STEERING. NOSE STEERI NG CAN BE MEL'D. IF THE AIRCRAFT DISPATCHES PER THE MEL, THE NOSE GEAR WILL RETRACT, BUT WILL NOT EXTEND NORMALLY. A MANUAL FREE FALL WOULD HAVE TO BE PERFORMED.
