## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON FINAL APPROACH, THE CREW NOTICED AN UNSAFE LANDING GEAR INDICATION.  THE CREW IMMEDIATELY INITIATED A MISSED APPROACH.  THE APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY CHECKLISTS WERE PERFORMED AND WHILE LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM, THE CREW NOTICED THAT THE EMERGENCY GEAR SOCKET WAS LOOSE.  THE SOCKET WAS TIGHTENED AND A SAFE LANDING GEAR INDICATION WAS RECEIVED. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT.
