## Discrepancy

THE LANDING GEAR FAILED TO INDICATE DOWN AND LOCKED WHEN SELECTED ON FINAL APPROACH.  THE CREW FOLLOWED QRH PROCEDURES AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.  THE AIRCRAFT MADE A TOWER FLY BY, AND HAD THE TOWER  VERIFY THE GEAR POSITION.  AFTER THE GEAR WAS VERIFIED DOWN BY THE TOWER, THE AIRCRAFT SHOT ANOTHER APPROACH AND LANDED SAFELY.  OUTSTATION MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND APPROVED THE AIRCRAFT FOR A FERRY FLIGHT TO PIT FOR REPAIR.  THE FLIGHT WAS EXECUTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.  PIT MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND REPLACED THE DIMMER CONTROL BOX, IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 33-13-11. OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE COMPLETED, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
