## Discrepancy

FLIGHT WAS ON APPROACH FOR RUNWAY 22L AS THEY PASSED THE FAF THEY WENT GEAR DOWN.  THE MAIN GEAR SHOWED DOWN AND LOCKED BUT THE NOSE GEAR DID NOT HAVE AN INDICATION.  ATC PROVIDED DELAY VECTORS.  CREW RAN THE APPROPRIATE CHECKLIST.  ATC REQUESTED A VFR FLIGHT ABOUT 500 FT BELOW TO VISUALLY VERIFY GEAR DOWN.  THE FLIGHT CONFIRMED ALL 3 DOWN, BUT SAID THAT IT DID NOT APPEAR TO BE LOCKED.  BECAUSE OF THIS INPUT FROM THE VFR FLIGHT THE CA DECIDED TO RUN THE ALTERNATE GEAR EXTENSION.  EMERGENCY TRUCKS WERE WAITING AT THE RUNWAY.  FLIGHT LANDED AND CLEARED THE RUNWAY, AND WAS TOWED TO THE GATE.  UPON ARRIVAL OF A/C, RETRIEVED DATA FROM PSEU IAW AMM 32-61-00.  FOUND NO FAULT CODES LEADING TO FAULTY LANDING GEAR.  ALSO NO CAUTION LIGHTS WERE NOTED FOR A FAULTY LANDING GEAR, PERFORMED OPS TEST OF THE CAUTION AND ADVISORY LIGHT IAW AMM 31-51-26 FOUND NOSE DOWN LIGHT INOP ON LANDING GEAR PANEL.  REPLACED BULBS IN PANEL IAW AMM 20-30-07.  OPS CHECKED  GOOD.  NO FURTHER DISCREPANCIES NOTED.  A/C OK FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
