Narrative:

During takeoff, while departing as flight abcd from ZZZ to pit, the landing gear handle would not move to the up position. We ran the 'landing gear handle will not move to the up position' abnormal procedures checklist and the gear remained down and locked. We immediately returned to the field and landed without further incident. ZZZ is a maintenance base, so the mechanics did the write-up in the aircraft discrepancy logbook and wrote 'landing gear relay circuit, breaker may have been missed upon return to service from maintenance. To my best recollection, when I received the aircraft from maintenance that morning, the abnormal procedures checklist did not mention the landing gear relay circuit breaker.

Title: A BE1900D WAS DISPATCHED IN NON COMPLIANCE AFTER MAINT WITH THE LNDG GEAR LEVER LATCH CIRCUIT BREAKER PULLED. FLT RETURNED TO FIELD.

Narrative: DURING TKOF, WHILE DEPARTING AS FLT ABCD FROM ZZZ TO PIT, THE LNDG GEAR HANDLE WOULD NOT MOVE TO THE UP POS. WE RAN THE 'LNDG GEAR HANDLE WILL NOT MOVE TO THE UP POS' ABNORMAL PROCS CHKLIST AND THE GEAR REMAINED DOWN AND LOCKED. WE IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE FIELD AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. ZZZ IS A MAINT BASE, SO THE MECHS DID THE WRITE-UP IN THE ACFT DISCREPANCY LOGBOOK AND WROTE 'LNDG GEAR RELAY CIRCUIT, BREAKER MAY HAVE BEEN MISSED UPON RETURN TO SVC FROM MAINT. TO MY BEST RECOLLECTION, WHEN I RECEIVED THE ACFT FROM MAINT THAT MORNING, THE ABNORMAL PROCS CHKLIST DID NOT MENTION THE LNDG GEAR RELAY CIRCUIT BREAKER.
