## Discrepancy

ON THE APPROACH, THE CREW RECEIVED A LG AIR/GRND FAIL MESSAGE WHEN THE LANDING GEAR WAS SELECTED DOWN.  THE INDICATION CLEARED WHEN ALL GEAR SHOWED GREEN.  A NORMAL LANDING WAS MADE WITH NO INCIDENT.  A LOOSE CONNECTOR WAS FOUND ON THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR PROXIMITY SWITCH.  ALL CONNECTORS FOR THE AIR/GROUND PROXIMITY SWITCHES WERE CLEANED AND THE LOOSE CONNECTOR WAS SECURED.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS ARE GOOD IAW EMB 145 AMM 32-63-00.
