ACR HAS NO GEAR DOWN INDICATION. TWR CONFIRMS DOWN. LNDG MADE. TWR ROLLS EMER EQUIP.

Narrative

GOT NO GREEN OR RED LIGHTS INDICATING GEAR MOVEMENT OR FINAL CONDITION. TWR CONFIRMED GEAR APPEARED TO BE DOWN. BREAKERS WERE DOUBLE CHKED; ALL APPEARED NORMAL. GEAR WAS RECYCLED AND OP WAS CONFIRMED. FLAPS WERE EXTENDED AND ACFT WAS CONFIGURED FOR LNDG. PWR WAS REDUCED TO DETERMINE IF THE GEAR HORN WOULD SOUND. DEP CTL; WHO WAS REWORKING US FOR ANOTHER APCH; ASKED IF WE WANTED THE EMER EQUIP ROLLED. I INDICATED I DIDN'T FOR 2 REASONS. PRIMARILY BECAUSE (SINCE NO HORN) I BELIEVED THE GEAR WAS IN FACT DOWN SO NO EMER EXISTED. SEC; I DIDN'T WANT TO UNDULY ALARM OUR PAX. WELL; THE TWR APPARENTLY DID WANT THIS EQUIP; SO THEY ROLLED IT; WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL ON SHORT FINAL. COMPANY OFFICIALS SAW THE EQUIP AND THOUGHT I WAS HAVING AN EMER. NOW; NOT ONLY DID I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE EQUIP TO OUR PAX; WHO OBVIOUSLY THOUGHT I LIED TO THEM BUT ALSO NOW I HAD TO EXPLAIN TO IRATE COMPANY OFFICIALS WHY I HADN'T INFORMED THEM OF MY EMER. ALL THIS ON MY FIRST DAY BACK FROM 12 DAYS OF VACATION. ALSO; AS AN ASIDE; OUR NEXT TRIP WAS TO AUGUSTA WHERE THERE WAS A NIGHT TKOF WITH 1600 FT RVR. WHAT A STRESSFUL DAY. I GOT TO THINKING THAT FLT DEPT MGRS MAY INDIRECTLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THEY VENT THEIR ANGER ON A FLC OVER SOMETHING WHILE THIS CREW IS IN THE MIDST OF A TRIP. IF IT'S SERIOUS ENOUGH TO BE ANGRY OVER; THEN THEY SHOULD RELIEVE THE CREW; BUT DON'T TURN UP THE HEAT ON THE AVIATION PRESSURE COOKER; THEN SEND THEM ON THEIR WAY; STRESSED TO 110 PERCENT.
