## Discrepancy

WHEN THE PILOT SELECTED "GEAR UP", A NOISE WAS HEARD IN THE NOSE WHEEL AREA. THE NOSE GEAR INDICATION WAS UNSAFE AND WHEN THE LANDING GEAR WAS SELECTED "DOWN", THE GREEN LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE.  AFTER LANDING THE NLG LINK PN-76426-803 WAS FOUND CRACKED AND BROKEN AT THE ACTUATOR ATTACH LOCATION.  THE END OF THE ACTUATOR WAS MISSING AS WELL.
