(-23) THE AIRMAN WAS PRACTICING INSTRUMENT APPROACHES.  UPON LANDING, THE PILOT STATED THAT THE MAIN LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND INTO THE LOCKED POSITION USING THE MANUFACTURES EMERGENCY PROCEDURES.  THE PILOT CONTRACTED ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, THE DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE FOR EAGLE CAP AVIATION TO DISCUSS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS.
