## Discrepancy

FLT 3099 - ON APPROACH TO MSP, THE LANDING GEAR DIDN'T EXTEND WHEN SELECTED DOWN.  THE CREW NOTED THAT THE INHIBIT SWITCH WAS LOOSE.  THE CREW ACTUATED THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES.  THE GEAR THEN EXTENDED NORMALLY.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE INHIBIT SWITCH.  ALL SYSTEMS OPERATED SATISFACTORILY DURING GEAR SWINGS.  (M)
