What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On approach to landing the pilot extended the landing gear but did not get three green gear indicator lights. Pilot requested fly-by of the tower to observe whether the right hand gear was extended. Tower was able to confirm the gear appeared to be extended. Aircraft landed on runway 21L and was able to taxi to parking with no further issues.
Maintenance looked at aircraft and determined indicator lights in cockpit were not getting down and locked indication from landing gear.
Maintenance performed troubleshooting on landing gear system and found RH MLG actuator was faulty. The actuator was replaced with an overhauled unit, faulty wiring in pilot control wheel harness replaced, and operational check of control yoke & landing gear indication system checked. Aircraft returned to service and has encountered no additional landing gear indication issues.
