## Discrepancy

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.
