## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT 2493 AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO FIELD, AFTER TAKEOFF THE RT MAIN LANDING GEAR INDICATED IT WAS STILL DOWN. WE RAN THE LANDING GEAR FAILS TO RETRACT CHECKLIST WHICH DID NOT HELP. FLIGHT ATTENDENT VISUALLY CONFIRMED RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR LOOKED FULLY RETRACTED WITH DOORS CLOSED. RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR DOWN WAS STILL INDICATED ON PANEL. FINISHED EMERGENCY CHECKLIST WHICH REQUIRES GEAR BE EXTENDED. FLIGHT ATTENDENTS VISUALLY CONFIRMED RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR DOWN. CONFIRMED GEAR DOWN BY LOOKING AT ALTERNATE GEAR EXTENSION INDICATORS ON FLOOR, SAW THREE GREEN. REMOVED AND REPLACED LANDING GEAR CONTROL PANEL. OPERATIONAL CHECKS GOOD. AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
