## Discrepancy

BIL - ON DEPARTURE LEVER LATCH (ANTI-RETRACTION PIN) WOULD NOT ALLOW RETRACTION OF LANDING GEAR.  NOSE WHEEL STEERING WHEEL TURNED FREELY SO DID OVERRIDE AS PER ABNORMAL PROCEDURE.  RETURNED FOR NORMAL LANDING AFTER ACCOMPLISHMENT OF ABNORMAL PROCEDURE.  REPLACED BROKEN CONNECTOR LINK AT NOSE GEAR GROUND SHIFT SENSE FITTING ANTI-RETRACT.  'LEVER LATCH' OPS CHECK GOOD PER DC-9 MM 32-31-1.  (M)
