## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON SELECTING GEAR UP, IN-TRANSIT LIGHT STAYED ON.  GEAR WAS THEN SELECTED DOWN AND THE MAIN GREEN LIGHTS CAME ON.  THE NOSE WAS ABOUT 15 DEGREES FROM DOWN AND LOCKED.  THE AFT GEAR CHAIN WAS ACCESSED BY THE FLIGHT CREW AND WITH THE AID OF MAINTENANCE, THEY RE-ATTACHED THE 2 ENDS OF THE CHAIN AND MANUALLY PULLED THE CHAIN UNTIL THE NOSE WAS DOWN AND LOCKED.
