## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF FROM CGF THE NLG WOULD NOT RETRACT UP & LOCK.  THE CREW EXTENDED THE GEAR & RECEIVED INDICATION THAT ALL WERE DOWN & LOCKED.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO CGF & LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MX FOUND THE NOSE GEAR STRUT LOW ON N² & WOULD NOT EXTEND FULLY WHILE ON JACKS.  ALL THREE GEAR STRUTS WERE SERVICED AS REQUIRED & THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  NOTE THE OAT WAS APPROXIMATELY -8°F.
