## Discrepancy

THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE WOULD NOT RAISE AFTER TAKEOFF.  THE GEAR HANDLE RELEASE BUTTON WAS USED TO RAISE GEAR.  WHEN THE GEAR WAS LOWERED ON APPROACH, A LOUD THUMP WAS HEARD FROM NOSE AREA.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE NLG STRUT HAD LOW PRESSURE.  THE STRUT WAS SERVICED WITH NITROGEN AND OPERATION CHECKED GOOD.
