## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS ON APPROACH ,WHEN SELECTED GEAR DOWN DID NOT GET NOSE GEAR INDICATION ALTHOUGH THE HANDLE WAS NO LONGER RED.  DUE TO THE NO AVAILABILITY OF MAINTENANCE ELECTED TO RETURN TO BASE.  THE LIGHT OPERATED NORMALLY BUT THEY STILL ELECTED TO HAVE EMERGENCY VEHICLES STAND BY.  THE LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL AND MAINTENANCE FOUND THAT THE INTERNAL MICRO SWITCH IN THE NLG ACTUATOR WAS AT FAULT.  THE ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED AND TESTED SERVICEABLE.
