## Discrepancy

UPON LOWERING GEAR, THE RT GREEN LIGHT WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE.  REMOVED AND REPLACED BULB, NO HELP.  RAISED AND LOWERED M/G THREE TIMES, NO HELP WITH INDICATION.  TOWER INDICATED GEAR ALL DOWN, LIGHT STILL REMAINS OFF.  INSPECTED RIGHT MAIN GEAR, FOUND PIN 'K' AT GEAR DOWN SWITCH WIRE BROKEN.  RE-PINNED WIRE, MANUALLY OPERATED SWITCH, SYSTEM TEST GOOD AS PER MM 32-2-0 AND M/M 32-60-1.
