## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF FROM BOS, NOSE GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT.  VISUAL INSPECTION OK.  CYCLED GEAR NO HELP.  RETURNED TO BOS, LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.

PERFORMED NORMAL EXTENSION/RETRACTION TEST IW 32-30-00 PAGE 501-503.  VISUALLY INSPECTED NLG MANUAL EXTENSION SYSTEM IAW 32-34-11, 32-34-51 AND 32-34-71.  NO DEFECTS NOTED.  RETURNED AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE.  (M)
