What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On December 31, 2008 at approximately 2224 CDT, N310CM, a Cessna 310, contacted Lubbock ATCT advising of an unsafe gear indication after the aircraft departed Lubbock (kllb) and did not get a gear up indication. The pilot reset the landing gear indicator circuit breaker. The nose and left gear down indicator illuminated but the right gear still indicated an unsafe condition. The pilot requested a fly-by and the tower indicated the gear appeared to be extended. The pilot attempted to manually extend the gear, the gear was down and locked. The aircraft landed uneventfully. The pilot, also a mechanic, found a faulty mirco switch and broken wire on the right gear. He repaired them and continued on his flight the next day. No injuries or aircraft damage was sustained.
