## Discrepancy

ON FINAL APPROACH FROM TOL TO MCI UPON GEAR EXTENSION, GREEN GEAR DOWN LIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE. CREW PERFORMED ABNORMAL PROCEDURES, INDICATION REMAINED THE SAME. AFTER TOWER VISUALLY CONFIRMED GEAR DOWN CREW MADE UNEVENTFUL LANDING IN MCI. UPON INSPECTION MAINTENANCE FOUND THE DOWNLOCK POSITION SWITCH CONNECTOR DEFECTIVE. SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND SYSTEM OPERATIONALLY CHECKED NORMAL. ALL WORK PERFORMED PER APPLICABLE MANUALS
