## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AIRCRAFT WAS PREPARING TO LAND AT JOPLIN, MO. WHEN THE LANDING GEAR WAS LOWERED, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR DOWN INDICATOR LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. CREW ELECTED TO DIVERT TO SPRINGFIELD, MO BECAUSE THE TOWER AT JOPLIN WAS NOT IN OPERATION AND THE WEATHER WAS MARGINAL. AIRCRAFT MADE AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING AT SGF, NO EVACUATION. AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED BY REXA MAINTENANCE AND FERRIED TO HOME BASE. MAINTENANCE DETERMINED THAT RIGHT GEAR DOWN INDICATOR LIGHT BULB AND BACK-UP BULB HAD BURNED OUT. THIS REPORT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

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.
