## Narrative

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

WHEN GEAR IS SELECTED DOWN,HIGH MODE  AND LOW MODE IS OPERATING,BUT AFTER 3-4 MINUTES RIGHT GEAR  LIGHT TURNS OFF WITH NO UNSAFE AUDIBLE TONE. MAINTENANCE PERFORMED A CHECK AND FOUND THAT THE R/H GEAR DOWN BULB HAD FAILED. THE BULB WAS REPLACED AND OPS CHECK WAS PERFORMED SATISFACTORY.

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.
