## Discrepancy

PIT - FL 400 - AFTER TAKEOFF, THE NOSE GEAR DID NOT RETRACT.  CREW RECYCLED THE GEAR AND THE GEAR RETRACTED NORMALLY.  FLIGHT CONTINUED TO PIT AND LANDED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE JACKED THE AIRCRAFT AND SWUNG THE GEAR SEVERAL TIMES.  NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND.  THE GEAR WAS LUBRICATED AND THE AIRCRAFT RELEASED FOR SERVICE.  (M)
