## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT REPORTED THAT ON APPROACH TO LANDING, THE RT MAIN GEAR "DOWN AND LOCKED" LIGHT WAS UNSERVICEABLE. THE LANDING GEAR WAS CYCLED 3 TIMES BUT THE LIGHT JUST FLICKERED. THE PILOT THEN HAD THE CONTROL TOWER CHECK AND CONFIRM THAT THE GEAR WAS DOWN. A NORMAL LANDING WAS CARRIED OUT, BUT THE LIGHT STAYED OFF.   ON INSP LATER, MX FOUND A CHAFED WIRE AT THE RT GEAR LIGHT SOCKET. THE WIRE WAS REPAIRED AND MULTIPLE GEAR SWINGS CARRIED OUT WITHOUT FURTHER FAULT.
