## Discrepancy

WHEN LANDING GEAR HANDLE SELECTED TO UP POSITION AFTER TAKEOFF, RIGHT MAIN UPLOCK BUT WOULD NOT RETRACT.  LEFT MAIN NOSE GEAR RETRACTED NORMALLY.  A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WAS CONTINUOUSLY HEARD WHEN GEAR RETRACTION WAS ATTEMPTED.  ALL 3 GEARS DID DOWNLOCK NORMALLY.  RETURNED TO LAX.  INSPECTED RIGHT MAIN GEAR, OPERATED GEAR UP AND DOWN MANY TIMES.  NO NOISE WAS HEARD AND NO DISCREPANCY NOTED.  OPS CHECKS GOOD.
