## Discrepancy

ON TAKEOFF, THE NOSE GEAR DID NOT RETRACT. THE MAIN RETRACTED NORMALLY, HAD A NOSE GREEN AND A RED UNLOCK LIGHT.  HEARD SURGING AND MOVEMENT OF THE NOSE GEAR EVERY 10 SECONDS OR SO AS THE NOSE GEAR TRIED TO RETRACT.  WHEN LANDING GEAR HANDLE WAS LOWERED, HAD 3 GREEN AND NO RED AND A NORMAL LANDING. POSTFLIGHT INSPECTION SHOWS NO OBVIOUS REASONS FOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY.  REMOVED AND INSTALLED OVERHAUL NOSE WHEEL STEERING UNIT.  OPS CHECKED GOOD.
