## Discrepancy

FLT 5026 SMX-LAX, PILOT REPORTED THAT AFTER TAKEOFF THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT.  MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL DETERMINED THAT THE NLG WAS NOT EXTENDING FULLY AND FAILED TO COMPLETE A CIRCUIT WITH THE SQUAT SWITCH.  THE NOSE LANDING GEAR STRUT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE PERFORMED WITH SATISFACTORY RESULTS, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED BACK TO SERVICE.
