## Discrepancy

THE NOSE GEAR FAILED TO EXTEND WHEN THE GEAR HANDLE WAS PLACED DOWN. A UNUSUAL GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD DURING GEAR EXTENTION.  BLOW DOWN AND D-RING FAILED TO DROP GEAR.  LOW FLYBY CONFIRMED NOSE GEAR STILL IN WHEEL WELL.  ON GO AROUND GEAR DOORS OPENED. APPLIED POSITIVE G-FORCE AND THE NOSE GEAR CAME DOWN & LOCKED.
