## Discrepancy

CTL - FLT 369 - ON APPROACH, THE NOSE GEAR UNSAFE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE LANDIG GEAR WAS LOWERED.  THE FLT CREW RECYCLED THE GEAR BUT THE LIGHT REMAINED.  THE FLT CREW THEN PULLED THE MANUAL GEAR RELEASE LEVER IN THE COCKPIT.  THE FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE NLG BUNGEE CYLINDER AND ACCOMPLISHED A GEAR SWING.  ALL INDICATION AND OPERATION WAS NORMAL.  (M)
