## Discrepancy

THE CREW RE-CYCLED THE LANDING GEAR. AFTER RE-CYCLE THE MAIN LANDING GEAR AND DOOR LATCHING SELECTOR INDICATED THE LEFT AND RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR DOORS AND THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR AS UNLATCHED. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND REPLACED THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR TRIM (BOGIE) CYLINDER ASSEMBLEY AND INSPECTED AND REPLACED THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR DOOR PROXIMITY SENSOR TARGET PADDLE.  THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR DOOR ACTUATOR WAS ADJUSTED AND THE DOOR ROLLER WAS ALIGNED WITH THE UPLATCH MECHANISM.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE COMPLETED.
