## Discrepancy

FLT 716 FROM BNA TO MEM, WHILE ON APPROACH INTO MEM THE NOSE GEAR FAILED TO INDICATE DOWN AND LOCKED.  THE GREEN NOSE GEAR LIGHT WAS OUT, AND THE RED LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.  AN ABORTED APPROACH WAS ACCOMPLISHED, CHECKLIST FOLLOWED AND AIRCRAFT LANDED IN MEM WITHOUT INCIDENT.  POST FLIGHT INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED.  THE MLG ACCESSORY UNIT WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE PERFORMED AND NO FURTHER DEFECTS WERE NOTED.  AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
