## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT ARRIVED WITH CAPTAIN REPORT THAT DURING FINAL APPROACH THE NOSE LANDING GEAR LIGHT TURNED RED AND NOSE LANDING GEAR ALARM CAME ON.  AFTER MISSED APPROACH AND A NOSE LANDING GEAR CYCLE, THE GREEN LIGHTS COME ON.  AIRCRAFT WAS SENT TO THE HANGAR FOR ITS REVISION AND DURING OVERNIGHT SERVICE THE PROXIMITY SWITCH AND SENSOR D1-32 WERE REPLACED IAW MM, ALL TEST CORRECT.
