## Discrepancy

WHEN FLAPS SELECTED BEYOND APPROACH SETTING OR WHEN POWER LEVERS WERE REDUCED BELOW 400 POUNDS TORQUE, GEAR WARNING HORN WOULD SOUND AND GEAR IN-TRANSIT LIGHT CAME ON.  NOSE GEAR DOWNLOCK MICROSWITCH NOT FULLY DEPRESSED.  WHEN HAND PRESSURE APPLIED TO STRIKER PLATE BOTH HORN AND IN-TRANSIT LIGHT WOULD GO OUT.  SWITCH ADJUSTED.
