## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON MARCH 25, 1997 AT APPROXIMATELY 2024 MST A FOKKER, FK-28, N49045 OWNED AND OPERATED BY HORIZON AIRLINES, PORTLAND, OREGON DECLARED AN EMERGENCY WITH AN UNSAFE GEAR INDICATION. THE AIRCRAFT CIRCLED THE FIELD TO BURN FUEL, THEN THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE LANDING GEAR WAS PINNED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS FERRIED TO PORTLAND, OREGON MAINTENANCE BASE. MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED AND A FAULTY MAIN GEAR DOWN LOCK ACTUATOR WAS FOUND AND R & RED. THIS CLOSES 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.
