## Discrepancy

LANDING GEAR HANDLE WOULD NOT COME UP AFTER TAKEOFF. PRESSURIZATION WAS NORMAL AND THERE WAS NO WARNING HORN. CREW PUSHED IN THE ANTI-RETRACT LATCH AND LANDING GEAR CAME UP NORMALLY. ON DESCENT INTO ILN, CREW RE-CYCLED LANDING GEAR. THE LANDING GEAR OPERATED NORMALLY. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND PERFORMED LANDING GEAR EXTENSION AND RETRACTION ADJUSTMENT AND TEST PROCEDURE, IAW DC-8 MM 32-30-00. NO DEFECTS WERE NOTED. INSPECTED NOSE GEAR AND GROUND SHIFT MECHANISM. NO DEFECTS WERE NOTED.
