## Discrepancy

WITH LANDING GEAR HANDLE SELECTED DOWN, NO GREEN DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATION ALONG WITH RED HANDLE WARNING.  PILOT NOTED LANDING GEAR CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPPED.  RESET THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WHICH RESULTED IN NORMAL OPERATION.  INVESTIGATION FOUND LANDING GEAR SELECTOR HANDLE HAD A METAL ID PLATE SEPARATED FROM THE HANDLE CAUSING SHORT TO HANDLE CONTACTS.  REMOVED THE ID PLATE, NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED IN REGARDING OPERATION.
