## Discrepancy

ON TAKEOFF AT ROTATION, THE NOSE GEAR STEERING PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  THE CREW DID NOT RETRACT THE GEAR AND RETURNED TO MAKE AN UNSCHEDULED LANDING.  MAINTENANCE FOUND A BROKEN WIRE AT THE STEERING CONVERTER PRESSURE SWITCH. THE WIRE WAS REPAIRED AND THE SYSTEM WAS FUNCTIONALLY TESTED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
