## Discrepancy

ON FINAL APPROACH, LG WOULD NOT EXTEND & LOCK IN THE DOWN POSITION.  THE THREE GREEN GEAR DOWN & LOCKED LIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE.  PILOT RETRACTED GEAR & RE-EXTENDED THE LG USING THE EMER HYD SYS.  THE ACFT LANDED SAFELY.  AFTER PERFORMING AN INITIAL INSPECTION, JACKING THE ACFT & PERFORMING A GEAR SWING, A HYD HOSE ATTACHED TO THE GEAR ACTUATOR WAS FOUND BROKEN INSIDE THE WEDGED PART OF THE HOSE. TIS OF HOSE & ACTUATOR ARE UNKNOWN.
