## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT 3511, UPON GEAR RETRACTION THE LEFT MAIN GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT.  RECEIVED RED INDICATOR AND RED UNSAFE LIGHT IN GEAR HANDLE.  CYCLED GEAR 3 TIMES WITH NO LUCK.  AIR RETURN TO DTW.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED ICE BUILDUP FROM BOTH LT & RT MLG WHEEL WELLS.  CLEANED AND LUBRICATED BOTH MLG'S.  PERFORMED 10 NORMAL GEAR RETRACTIONS AND EXTENSIONS.  TESTS ALL CHECK GOOD AT THIS TIME.
