## Discrepancy

RETRACTED GEAR ON DEPARTURE & WE GOT A GEAR UNSAFE RED LIGHT & NOSE WHEEL DOWN & LOCKED GREEN LIGHT.  MAIN GEAR RETRACTED NORMALLY.  NO OTHER ABNORMAL INDICATIONS.  BY THE SOUND & FEEL OF IT, NOSE WHEEL GEAR NEVER UNLOCKED.  NORMAL LANDING WITH THREE GREEN & NO RED LIGHT.  JACKED ACFT & CYCLED GEAR APPROXIMATELY 25 CYCLES.  ALL OPERATION & INDICATIONS ARE NORMAL.  CHECKED THE NOSE STRUT EXTENSION LENGTH & IT IS WITHIN SPECIFICATION OF LESS THAN 9.1".  CHECKED THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE NOSE GEAR UPLOCK SWITCH & IT IS OKAY.  IT WAS DECIDED TO REPLACE THE NOSE GEAR ACTUATOR.  REMOVED NG ACTUATOR PN 9912491-3 & SN 0303A.  INSTALLED A RENTAL NLG ACTUATOR 9912491-3 & SN 0100.  THE ACTUATOR WAS INSTALLED WITH NEW HARDWARE.
