## Discrepancy

DURING DEPARTURE, CREW SELECTED GEAR LEVER TO UP.  THE LANDING GEAR TRAVELLED APPROX HALFWAY UP AND STOPPED, LEAVING A RED GEAR SELECT HANDLE INDICATING THE GEAR DID NOT TRAVEL COMPLETELY UP AND LOCK.  CREW REPORTED FAILURE TO ATC.  ATC, VECTORED ACFT TO "ROYCE" AT 7000 FT SO CREW COULD REFER TO EMERGENCY CHECKLIST.  CREW PERFORMED EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION PROCEDURE AND ACHIEVED "3 GREEN", INDICATING GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED.  ATC VECTORED ACFT BACK TO DEPARTURE FOR NORMAL LANDING.  UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THE LANDING GEAR MOTOR HAD FAILED AND TRIPPED THE 60 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER UNDER THE FLOOR.  MOTOR WAS REPAIRED AND OPS CHECK IS GOOD.
