## Discrepancy

(CAN) ABORTED APPROACH DUE TO AN UNSAFE GEAR INDICATION. A/C OVERFLEW THE RUNWAY, WHERE OBSERVERS ON THE GROUND REPORTED ONLY THE NOSE GEAR WAS DOWN. THE AIRCRAFT CLIMBED BACK TO 8000 FEET AND ENTERED A HOLDING, WHERE THE CREW MANAGED TO LOWER ALL GEAR. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY ABOUT 25 MINUTES AFTER ABORTING THE FIRST APPROACH.
