## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF THE GEAR HANDLE WOULD NOT MOVE.  RECEIVED WOW MISCOMPARE MESSAGE.  AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAS MESSAGE WENT OUT.  RAISED THE GEAR HANDLE: NOSE LIGHT EXTINGUISHED, RT AND LT MAIN AND RED UNLOCK LIGHT REMAINED ON.  PUT THE GEAR HANDLE BACK DOWN.  FOUND WHEEL SQUAT SWITCH NOT MAKING CONTACT DUE TO NOSE STRUT EXTENSION.  SERVICED NOSE STRUT IAW MM 32-20-00.  PERFORMED NUMEROUS GEAR SWINGS WITH NO DEFECTS NOTED.
