## Discrepancy

DURING APPROACH, THE PILOT SELECTED THE LG HANDLE TO THE EXTEND POSITION, ONLY THE LT MAIN GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  THE PILOT CYCLED THE LG HANDLE WITH THE SAME RESULTS.  PERFORMED A MANUAL EXTENSION OF THE LG.  AFTER RECEIVING THREE GREEN DOWN & LOCKED POSITION INDICATOR LIGHTS THE PILOT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  INSPECTION REVEALED LOW HYD FLUID IN RESERVOIR.  SERVICED HYD RESERVOIR & PERFORMED LG OPERATIONAL CHECK.  SYS CHECKED NORMAL.
