## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT IS EGYPTIAN REGISTERED.  GEAR DOORS ON LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT WHEN GEAR WAS RETRACTED.  CHECKED UPLOCK SWITCHES AND FOUND THE NOSE GEAR UPLOCK SWITCH WOULD NOT CLOSE TO ALLOW THE GEAR DOORS TO CLOSE.  ALSO, FOUND THE MECHANICAL UNLOCK CONTROLS MOVED TOO HARD.  LUBED MECHANICAL UNLOCK AND MOVES OKAY.  COMPLETED A RETRACT TEST AND GEAR PERFORMED PROPERLY.
