## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED THAT ON LANDING, THE GEAR DOWN SELECTION FAILED WHEN ACTUATED. HE THEN EXERCISED THE EMERGENCY LANDING GEAR HANDLE AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR CAP AND SEAL AND THE LANDING GEAR MOTOR. THE AIRCRAFT PERFORMED A SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONAL CHECK FLIGHT BEFORE IT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
