## Discrepancy

INVESTIGATED COMPLAINT OF UNLOCKED GEAR INDICATION AFTER GEAR RETRACTION.  FOUND RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR NOT FULLY LOCKING IN RETRACTED POSITION DUE TO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN STRUT ASSEMBLY BRAKE LINE CLAMP AND ADJACENT STRUCTURE.  LANDING GEAR RETRACT TESTS SATISFACTORY AFTER REPOSITIONING CLAMP.  RECENT MAINTENANCE HISTORY NOT SUPPLIED.  BE 400A MLG WHEEL WELLS ARE RELATIVELY TIGHT FIT, AND WHENEVER ANY MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED AROUND STRUT, A RETRACT SYSTEM TEST SHOULD BE PERFORMED BEFORE RETURNING AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE.
