## Discrepancy

THE #2 LANDING GEAR CIRCUIT BREAKER POPPED IN FLIGHT. IT WAS RESET, HOWEVER, FAILED ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT. THE LANDING GEAR WAS MANUALLY EXTENDED, AND THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY. MAINTENANCE FOUND THAT THE LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN FAILED, AND IT WAS REPLACED. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE ASSEMBLY WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL SHORT. THE HANDLE WAS REPLACED, AND GEAR SWINGS WERE SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED. THE AIRCRAFT IS NOW RELEASED BACK TO SERVICE. NO OTHER DEFECTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED.
