## Discrepancy

(CAN) -  PILOT DID NOT RECEIVE NOSE GEAR DOWN LIGHT INDICATION AFTER CYCLING GEAR DOWN FOR LANDING.   MAINTENANCE ADVISED PILOT TO USE RUDDER PEDALS TO ACTIVATE NOSE GEAR DOWN MICROSWITCH.  THIS ACTION GAVE NOSE GEAR DOWN INDICATION TO PILOT.   THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE JACKED THE AIRCRAFT, CYCLED GEARS AND ADJUSTED THE NOSE GEAR  DOWN MICROSWITCH.
