## Discrepancy

THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTED THEY FOLLOWED THE BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST & CONFIRMED ALL INDICATIONS OF LG DOWN & LOCKED.  THE MAIN GEAR TOUCHED DOWN, SPEED BRAKES WERE DEPLOYED & THE NOSE GEAR CONTACTED THE RUNWAY.  THE NOSE CONTINUED LOWERING TO THE RUNWAY SURFACE AS THE GEAR HANDLE MOVED UN-COMMANDED BACK TO THE UP POSITION.  THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED & RETRACTED, THE GEAR UNSAFE WARNINGS WERE PRESENT, RED UNSAFE LIGHT & WARNING HORN WERE ACTIVE.  AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS INCIDENT IS CURRENTLY BEING CONDUCTED.  A MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE GEAR HANDLE WAS THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSE AFTER TOUCHDOWN.  THE FAULTY LG CONTROL HANDLE WAS REPLACED & THE FAILED UNIT RETURNED FOR EVALUATION.  UNIT FAILED TEST.
