## Discrepancy

DURING LANDING, WHEN PILOT LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR, HE HEARD AN AUDIBLE THUMP, DURING HOVER ANOTHER PILOT REPORTED TO HIM THAT THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR WAS DOWN.  THE COCKPIT LANDING GEAR LIGHT INDICATED THAT WERE UP AND SAFE, THE GEAR WAS EXTENDED AND NORMAL LANDING WAS MADE.  UPON LANDING, THE MECHANIC ADJUSTED THE LENGTH OF EXPLOSIVE LINK OF RIGHT MAIN GEAR AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
