## Discrepancy

DURING APPROACH, NOSE LANDING GEAR GREEN LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE AFTER GEAR EXTENSION.  FLIGHT CREW UTILIZED EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION PROCEDURES AND CONFIRMED THROUGH PEEP HOLE THAT GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED.  EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT WAS REQUESTED ON STANDBY AS A PRECAUTION.  AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED NOSE GEAR BUNGEE CYLINDER.  OPERATIONAL CHECK NORMAL ON GEAR CYCLE.
