## Discrepancy

BPT-  DURING FLIGHT 3640 FROM IAH TO BPT, THE CREW NOTED THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS RETRACTING, STICKING, MAKING LOUD BANGING NOISES AND TAKING EXCESSIVE TIME TO RETRACT.  MAINTENANCE SERVICED BOTH FREE FALL ASSISTERS, CLEANED AND LUBED THE NOSE LANDING GEAR UPLOCK BOX.  PERFORMED A OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM, NO DEFECTS NOTED.
