## Discrepancy

ON APPROACH TO TOL, WHEN LOWERING LANDING GEAR, INDICATION SYSTEM DID NOT INDICATE DOWN FOR ALL THREE GEAR.  THE GEAR WAS CYCLED AND THE INDICATION WAS NORMAL FOR ALL THREE GEAR.  MAINTENANCE CLEANED AND LUBED THE GEAR HANDLE MECHANISM AND CLEANED THE HANDLE DETENT SWITCHES.  SYSTEM WAS GROUND CHECKED SUCCESSFULLY IAW WITH THE DOUGLAS MM 32-60-0.  (M)
