## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED VIBRATION DURING GEAR EXTENSION AND RETRACTION.  INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT RIGHT MAIN GEAR ACTUATOR WAS BINDING AND CAUSING GEAR TO OSCILLATE DURING TRANSIT.  ACTUATOR EMMITTED A HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL WHILE GEAR WAS IN TRANSIT.  ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED WITH SERVICEABLE UNIT AND GEAR RIGGED.  OPERATIONS WERE NOTED TO BE NORMAL AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
