## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER TAKEOFF LG WOULD NOT RETRACT, THERE WAS A WEIGHT ON WHEELS, WOW, MIS-COMPARE MSG.  ACFT RETURNED TO MX.  THE NOSE GEAR WAS SERVICED & GEAR SWINGS COMPLETED WITHOUT FAULT.  THIS FAULT APPEARS TO BE THAT THE NOSE GEAR IS NOT EXTENDING ALL THE WAY AFTER TAKEOFF & NOT MAKING THE WEIGHT ON WHEELS SWITCH.  THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS ISSUE HAS COME UP WITH THE CITATION 680 ACFT WITHIN THIS COMPANY.  A REVIEW OF THE SDR DATABASE SHOWS MANY OCCURRENCES OF THIS ISSUE.  PREVIOUSLY WE HAVE INSTALLED SL680-32-8 IMPROVED SEAL KIT FOR NOSE GEAR.
