## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKE OFF, WHEN THE GEAR WAS RETRACTED, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR RED UNLOCK ILLUMINATED WITH CONSIDERABLE WIND NOISE LIKE A GEAR DOOR WAS OPEN.  CYCLED GEAR AND RECEIVED AN UP INDICATION. THE FLIGHT CONTINUED TO DESTINATION AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  NO EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED.  PERFORMED A GENERAL VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR AND ASSEMPLY.  NO DEFECTS NOTED AT THIS TIME. ALSO PERFORM AN OPS CHECK OF THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR DOOR IAW AMM 32-12-00-710-801A. OPS CHECKED GOOD.
