## Discrepancy

THE RT MLG GREEN LIGHT FLICKERED WHEN GEAR WAS EXTENDED ON APPROACH TO EWR.  THE EMERGENCY GEAR HANDLE WAS PULLED AND THE GREEN LIGHT ILLUMINATED STEADILY FOR A NORMAL LANDING.  THE GROUND PROXIMITY SENSOR WAS CLEANED.  A PROXIMITY SENSOR TEST AND EVALUATION FLIGHT WERE CONDUCTED WITH OPERATION AND INDICATIONS CHECKING GOOD.
