## Discrepancy

IAH-  FLIGHT 3806, WHILE PREPARING TO LAND AT IAH, THE CREW NOTED THAT THE LANDING GEAR FAILED TO EXTEND WHEN THE GEAR WAS SELECTED TO THE DOWN POSITION, THE HANDLE WAS RECYCLED FIVE (5) TIMES, THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS RESET, NO EFFECT.  THE CREW USED EMERGENCY EXTENSION OF THE LANDING GEAR AND LANDED AT IAH WITHOUT INCIDENT.  EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NOSE LANDING GEAR PROX SWITCH, PERFORMED A OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM, NO DEFECTS NOTED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
