What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During an instrument approach in kapf on Sunday, 12/19/2021 the right main gear down indicator light failed to show a positive gear down position. I notified ATC with the intention of a low pass requesting that he put the binoculars on my gear. He indicated that the gear appeared to be fully deployed. I then requested a vector to the south in order to review my POH procedures which required a deployment of the nitrogen gear blow down bottle. After ?blowing down? The gear to assure full deployment we returned for another low pass for his visual on the gear resulting with another positive report from ATC. Then asked for another full stop approach which resulted in a successful landing and taxi to our hangar. Had the aircraft serviced for corrective action to include light bulb replacement, gear cycling, removal of the nitrogen, replacement of the hydraulic fluid and recharging of the nitrogen gear blow down bottle. Aircraft logs duly noted and aircraft returned to service.
