Occurrence
On 12 July 2016, an Air Georgian Limited Beechcraft 1900D (serial number UE-330, registration C-GORF) was operating as Air Canada Express flight GGN7212 from Lethbridge Airport, Alberta, to Calgary International Airport, Alberta. The aircraft carried 2 crew members and 15 passengers.
During the approach into Calgary, when the landing gear was selected down, the flight crew observed that there was no gear-safe indication for the nose landing gear. The aircraft proceeded to circle east of Calgary for approximately one hour while the pilots attempted to rectify the problem. An emergency was declared.
The aircraft landed at 0720 Mountain Daylight Time, during daylight hours, with the nose landing gear in a partially extended position. No fire occurred, and there were no injuries.
