## Discrepancy

ON LANDING GEAR RETRACTION AFTER TAKEOFF, THE NOSE GEAR SOUNDED LIKE IT DID NOT RETRACT, HAD A LOUD AUDIBLE SOUND ASSOCIATED WITH NSW DOWN,  GEAR AURAL WARNING SOUNDED, NO OTHER INDICATIONS.  INSPECTED THE NLG AND FOUND THE INNER STRUT BINDING,  REPACKED THE STRUT, .FOUND A BAD PACKING. PERFORMED GEAR SWING,  FOUND NORMAL.
