## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON A ROUTINE FLIGHT, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE GEAR IN TRANSIT LIGHT, WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE NLG AND FOUND HIGHER THAN NORMAL PLAY IN THE NLG DRAG BRACE.  IT WAS BELIEVED THAT DUE TO MORE THAN NORMAL PLAY AND IF THE PLANE ENCOUNTERED TURBULENCE OF ANY KIND, THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND ON ACCORDINGLY.  THE NLG DRAG BRACE AND UP LIMIT SWITCH WHERE R & R WITH NEW.  NO FURTHER PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED.
