## Discrepancy

LANDING GEAR FAILED TO RETRACT AFTER TAKE OFF.  TRIED TO RAISE GEAR USING BOTH SYS 1 & SYS 2 & BOTH FAILED.  COULD NOT GET GEAR HANDLE PAST NEUTRAL.    AFTER LT PITCH DAMPER WAS REMOVED & REPLACED IAW AMM 32-31-00-05, PERFORMED FUNCTIONAL TEST 3.A.(4) GEAR RETURNED TO NORMAL.  RETRACTION AND EXTENSION TEST IN SYSTEM 1 & 2.  NO DEFECTS. GEAR SWINGS GOOD.   AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO NORMAL CONFIGURATION. OK FOR FLT.
