## Discrepancy

SUP - YVR - FLIGHT 2276 - THE CREW ABORTED THE APPROACH WHEN AFTER SELECTING THE GEAR DOWN, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DID NOT EXTEND.  THE CHECKLIST WAS FOLLOWED AND THE GEAR WAS LOWERED USING THE ALTERNATE METHOD.  THE LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND FOUND THE NOSE LANDING GEAR ACTUATOR BYPASSING FLUID.  THE ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
