## Discrepancy

THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE WOULD NOT MOVE DOWN UPON INITIAL ATTEMPT TO LOWER, WHILE ON APPROACH.  ALTERNATE GEAR EXTENSION WAS USED, AND THEN CREW WAS ABLE TO MOVE GEAR HANDLE DOWN AFTER EXTENSION.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS JACKED IAW MM 7-11-00 AND THE GEAR HANDLE WAS CYCLED EIGHT TIMES AND ALL GEAR FUNCTIONS WERE NORMAL WITH SMOOTH GEAR HANDLE OPERATION.
