## Discrepancy

ON TAKEOFF THE LANDING GEAR LEVER WOULD NOT GO PAST THE OFF POSITION FOR GEAR UP.  THE CREW LEFT THE GEAR HANDLE IN THE DODWN POSITION AND RETURNED TO DEPARTURE.  AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING WAS MADE.  THE GEAR HANDLE LOCK SOLENOID AND THE GEAR GROUND MODE PROXIMITY SENSORS WERE REPLACED.  REPAIRED BROKEN WIRES IN SPLICES TO BOTH AIR GROUND SENSORS.  ACCOMPLISHED TEST IN GROUND AND AIR MODES.  OPS CHECKED GOOD.  AC WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (K)
