## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE HANDLE WOULD NOT WORK IN THE DOWN POSITION UNLESS THE HANDLE WAS TAPPED. A NEWLY OVERHAULED LANDING GEAR CONTROL WAS INSTALLED.  IT WORKED FOR 229.5 HOURS AND 216 CYCLES BEFORE FAILING THE SAME WAY. AFTER REMOVING THE HANDLE THE DOWN SWITCH WAS NOT WORKING. THIS IS THE THIRD CONTROL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN 10 MONTHS 450 HOUR OF FLYING.
