Narrative: the captain had the following statement: at approximately 11:00 am local while landing at Pittsburgh international airport, the first officer and myself noticed we had no nose gear indication after dropping the gear at the outer marker for runway 28 left. We proceeded to execute a missed approach and ask tower for a vector to go handle the problem. We checked the light for the gear which worked; we checked the light in the gear handle which was on; we checked both circuit breakers which were in; did a power reduction and got the horn, put the flaps to approach (2) and also got the horn. At this time, we told approach we would like to do a flyby to visually check the gear while going through checklists for the problem. The approach control said we were just about over agc and asked if we would like to do the flyby there, which we did. Agc tower told us the nose gear looked at a 90 degree angle to the aircraft which it should be. Because of the warning horns and lack of a nose wheel landing was uneventful and as the nose wheel hit the light for the nose came on and the handle went out. Flew to cmh where maintenance cleared the item. Maintenance personnel cleaned and lubricated landing gear switches. A gear retraction check was accomplished with all indications being normal. This report closes this investigation.
