## Discrepancy

THE NUMBER ONE REVERSER UNLOCK LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN-FLIGHT.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO AND LANDED AT AIRPORT WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE UPPER LOCK ACTUATOR SENSOR BRACKET CRACKED.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE SENSOR BRACKET AND AS A PRECAUTIONARY BOTH UPPER AND LOWER PROXIMITY SENSOR CIRCUIT CARDS.  GROUND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
