## Discrepancy

THE NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED ON LANDING AT GDL.  ALL GEAR INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL AT TIME OF LANDING.  AN EMERGENCY EVACUATION WAS PERFORMED AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES.  ENGINEERING CONCLUDED THAT THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH COLLAPSE OF THE NLG.  THE CREW HAD EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE CROSSWINDS DURING LANDING AT GDL.
