## Discrepancy

THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE WOULD NOT RAISE AFTER TAKEOFF FROM EWR. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO EWR WHERE IT LANDED SAFELY.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE NLG STRUT FLAT.  A COMPLETE STRUT SERVICE WAS PERFORMED IAW MM 32-21-02.  THE NOSE GEAR WAS CYCLED AND LANDING GEAR HANDLE OPERATION CHECKED GOOD.
