## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT AFTER TAKEOFF.  PILOT FOUND EMERGENCY SELECTOR VALVE OUT OF DETENT AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE HANDLE INTO THE DETENT UNDER PRESSURE AND HANDLE SUBSEQUENTLY BROKE.  MX REPAIRED HANDLE AND PERFORMED FUNCTIONAL CHECK OF LANDING GEAR EXTENSION AND RETRACTION SYSTEM, FOUND NO DEFECTS AND RETURNED A/C TO SERVICE.
