## Discrepancy

MSY-CLT - FLT 1278 - AFTER LANDING GEAR RETRACTION, THE RED NOSE GEAR INDICATION LIGHT REMAINED LIT.  THE LANDING GEAR WAS CYCLED AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT BUT CAME BACK ON 5 MINUTES LATER.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO THE NEXT STATION AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE NOSE GEAR UP/DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION PROXIMITY SENSOR ASSEMBLY.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS JACKED AND THE LANDING GEAR WAS CYCLED.  ALL CHECKED NORMAL.  (M)
