## Discrepancy

ON FINAL APPROACH, AFTER PUTTING GEAR HANDLE DOWN AND WAITING TWICE THE NORMAL TIME FOR GREEN  INDICATION, ALL 3 GEAR WERE STILL RED, HANDLE WAS CHECKED IN AND HYDRO QTY AND PRESSURE WERE BOTH  GOOD.  ELECTED TO CYCLE GEAR AFTER A LONG PAUSE AGAIN, THE GEAR FINALLY CAME DOWN.  UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  RIGGED LANDING GEAR CONTROL MECHANISM REF AMM 32-31-02-2  AND PERFORMED GEAR SWING REF AMM 32-30-00-5. GEAR HANDLE AND SWING OPS CHECK GOOD, NO FAULTS NOTED.
