## Discrepancy

THE CREW WAS UNABLE TO RETRACT THE LANDING GEAR UPON TAKEOFF. THE FLIGHT RETUREND TO THE FIELD WITHOUT INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE LANIDNG CONTROL LEVER AND THE PROXIMITY SENSOR MODULE. HOWEVER, ON THE FIRST FLIGHT OUT, THE HANDLE TO RETRACT THE GEAR WOULD NOT MOVE PREVENTING THE GEAR FROM RETRACTING. THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO DEPARTURE AND LANDED UNEVENTFULLY. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WEIGHT ON WHEEL SENSOR/STEERING SENSOR FEEDBACK ELECTRICAL HARNESS. (K)
