## Discrepancy

WHILE ON FINAL, THE CREW RECEIVED NO INDICATION WHETHER THE LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN OR NOT.  THE CREW EXECUTED A GO AROUND AND REVIEWED THE QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK AND MANUALLY EXTENDED THE GEAR.  THE CREW THEN RECEIVED THREE GREEN LIGHTS AND LANDED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENTS.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND REPLACED THE LANDING GEAR CONTROL LEVER IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 32-00-00.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE PERFORMED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
