## Discrepancy

DURING THE GEAR UPLATCH CHECK, THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE WAS BINDING.  RECYCLED THE GEAR AND BINDING WAS STILL THERE.  APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR AFTER TAKEOFF, THE LEFT GEAR UNSAFE LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  THE GEAR OPERATED NORMALLY WHEN EXTENDED FOR LANDING.  RE-ROUTED SAFETY WIRE ON LANDING GEAR CONTROL DRUM IN THE RIGHT WHEELWELL.  REPLACED THE PROXIMITY CONTROL BOX FOR THE INDICATION PROBLEM.
