## Discrepancy

ON TAKEOFF WE SELECTED GEAR UP AND THE LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT . THEN THE GEAR HANDLE WOULD NOT GO BACK TO THE GEAR DOWN POSITION . WE RAN THE CHECKLIST FOR THE GEAR WILL NOT RETRACT- WHICH DID NOT COMPLETELY APPLY IN THIS SITUATION- AND SUBSEQUENTLY WERE ABLE TO FORCE THE GEAR HANDLE DOWN TO THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION .  WE NEVER HAD A GEAR UNLOCKED RED LIGHT OR ANY OTHER INDICATION THAT THE GEAR WAS NOT SAFELY DOWN AND LOCKED . BURNT OFF 300 POUNDS OF FUEL AND LANDED UNDER MAX LANDING WEIGHT.  REPLACED LANDING GEAR CONTROLLER. OPS CHECK GOOD. IAW AMM 32-01-00.
