## Discrepancy

FLT 721 FROM TOL TO ROC. AFTER DEPARTING THE RUNWAY THE GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT, A LOSS OF SYSTEM "A" HYDRAULICS WAS NOTED. THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO TOL WHERE AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. POST FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE NR 3 LEADING EDGE SLAT ACTUATOR WAS LEAKING. THE NR 3 SLAT ACTUATOR WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED, OPERATIONAL CHECKS GOOD. NO OTHER DEFECT WERE NOTED. AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE
