## Discrepancy

THE LANDING GEAR DOOR OPEN LIGHT DID NOT EXTINGUISH UPON GEAR EXTENSION.  FLIGHT CREW PULLED THE EMERGENCY LANDING GEAR EXTENSION LEVER AND LANDED AIRCRAFT WITHOUT INCIDENT.  GEAR DOORS WERE SECURED BEFORE TAXI INTO GATE.  FOUND BENT TELEFLEX CABLE ROD END AT LEFT LANDING GEAR WHEEL WELL AND STRAIGHTENED SAME.  OPERATIONAL CHECK OK.
