## Discrepancy

ENROUTE KWA TO HIK, THE GEAR DOOR NOT LATCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FLIGHT CREW CYCLED THE GEAR, PERFORMED AN GEAR UPLOCK CHECK AND THE WARNING INDICATION EXTINGUISHED. THE FLIGHT CONTINUED TO HIK FOR AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE LANDING GEAR INDICATION SYSTEM LOCATING THE MAIN GEAR DOORS STRIKERS LOOSE. MAINTENANCE SECURED THE STRIKERS AND PERFORMED A SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONAL TEST IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
