## Discrepancy

IAH - FLIGHT 2649, THE CREW REPORTED THAT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DOORS OPENED IN FLIGHT.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO IAH WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE LANDING GEAR DOOR SEQUENCE PROXIMITY SWITCH.  OPERATIONALLY CHECKED WITH NO DEFECTS, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
