## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF, THE LANDING GEAR WAS SELECTED UP AND THE NOSE GEAR WAS VERY SLOW TO RETRACT. THE ACFT LANDED SAFELY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MX  INVESTIGATED AND DISCOVERED THAT THE NOSE GEAR DOOR ACTUATOR PN 82910016-009 WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SLOW RETRACTION DUE TO INTERNAL LEAKAGE. THE ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
