## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: ON JANUARY 21, 1994, SKY HARBOR AIR SERVICE, INC. OPERATED N375AA, AN AERO COMMANDER 690A, ON THEIR PART 135 CERTIFICATE ON A FLIGHT FROM OMAHA, NEBRASKA TO HASTINGS, NEBRASKA. WHILE PREPARING TO LAND AT HASTINGS THE PILOT SELECTED GEAR DOWN. THE GEAR CAME DOWN BUT THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR DID NOT INDICATE DOWN. AND LOCKED. THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR DOWN LIGHT WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE DURING TEST. THE PILOT ELECTED TO RETURN TO HIS MAINTENANCE FACITLITY AT OMAHA EPPLEY. RATHER THAN LAND AT HASTINGS, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AT OMAHA EPPLEY WITH THE EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT STANDING BY. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT OR HIS FIVE PASSENGERS. MAINTENANCE CHECKED THE GEAR SYSTEM AND FOUND THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR DOWN LIGHT BULB HAD BURNED OUT. THE BULB WAS REPLACED. THIS BULB COULD NOT BE CHANGED BY THE PILOT DUE TO AN OVERLAY INSTALLED OVER THAT AREA. THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED WITH THIS REPORT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
