## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF, LANDING GEAR FAILED TO RETRACT.  GEAR REMAINED DOWN AND LOCKED.  AFTER LANDING IT WAS DETERMINED A WIRE ON THE LANDING GEAR EMERGENCY SAFETY SWITCH HAD BEEN BROKEN OFF DURING INSPECTION AND LUBE OF NOSE GEAR CHAIN.  JACKING THE AIRCRAFT AND DOING A RETRACT CHECK AFTER LUBING THE CHAIN OR ANY TYPE OF GEAR WORK WOULD PREVENT THIS.
