The preliminary report states that technicians were conducting a test to resolve an issue regarding the control system for the main landing gear doors, as a part of this test the landing gear lever should be in the "UP" position. It was found during the investigation that the landing gear downlock pin for the nose landing gear was not installed and still in the storage box. Stored
