## Discrepancy

ORF - FLT 956 - ON GEAR EXTENSION AT PHF, THE RT MAIN GEAR INDICATED UNSAFE.  THE GEAR WAS RECYCLED AND THE INDICATION WAS STILL UNSAFE.  THE CAPTAIN MADE A VISUAL INSPECTION WHICH SHOWED OK.  THE FLIGHT DIVERTED TO ORF.  WHILE MAKING A LOW PASS OVER THE RUNWAY, THE GEAR WAS CONFIRMED TO BE DOWN.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE RT MAIN GEAR DOWNLOCK SWITCH AND CLEARED THE CONNECTOR.  OPERATIONS CHECKED GOOD.  (W)
