## Discrepancy

LANDING GEAR DID NOT COME DOWN WITH THE HANDLE DOWN.  WENT AROUND THEN GEAR CAME DOWN (FROM HANDLE DOWN TO GEAR DOWN WAS 3 MIN).  PERF A/C GEAR SWING RETRACT AND EXTENSION CKS, GEAR OPS CK OK.  A/C GEAR EXTENSION TIME FROM HAND DOWN TO 3 GREEN DOWN AND LOCK 19.85 SEC.  CLEAN GEAR HANDLE SLIDE TO PREVENT HANDLE STICK, CAUSING GEAR LIGHT TO STAY RED.  GEAR HANDLE OPS CK OK.
