## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE FROM BRO TO TOL, THE LANDING GEAR UNSAFE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  THE FLIGHT CREW CYCLED THE LANDING GEAR BUT THE WARNING INDICATION REMAINED THE SAME.  THE FLIGHT CONTINUED TO TOL FOR AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE LANDING GEAR, CLEANED AND LUBRICATED THE GEAR UPLATCH MECHANISMS AND PERFORMED A SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONAL CHECK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
