## Discrepancy

DURING APPROACH INTO KPLN, THE FLIGHT CREW HAD TO MANUALLY EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR. LAN MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE LANDING GEAR RELAY AND WEIGHT ON WHEELS SWITCH/ WIRING AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. MAINTENANCE SERVICED THE MANUAL EXTENSION RESERVOIR AND RETURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE AFTER MULTIPLE SUCCESSFUL GEAR EXTENSION AND RETRACTION OPERATIONAL CHECKS.
