## Discrepancy

AT DEPARTURE, LT MAIN GEAR FAILED TO RETRACT.  THIS WAS VERIFIED BY THE TOWER.  CREW RETURNED AIRCRAFT TO DEPARTURE AIRPORT WHERE A LANDING WAS MADE WITHOUT INCIDENT.  REMOVED AND REPLACED AFT RADIUS ROD ON OB DOOR LT MAIN WHEEL WELL.  DOOR FIT AND OPS CHECK, OK.  AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
