RETURN LAND MANDATED BY ACFT EQUIP PROB.

Narrative

AFTER TKOF I RETRACTED THE LNDG GEAR; THE GEAR UNLOCKED RED LIGHT AND LOW HYD PRESSURE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED I ADVISED SAT TWR I NEEDED TO COME BACK AND LAND AND WOULD MAINTAIN VFR. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROB AND DISTRS FROM THE PAX I THOUGHT I HAD CLRNC TO TURN BASE AND LAND. ON BASE TURN APPROX 1 MI AWAY I SAW AN ACFT BREAK OUT ON THE ILS 3 ABOUT 1000 FT AGL; SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED TO CONTINUE DOWNWIND. WHEN I TRIED TO COM TO TWR; I HAD LEFT THE AUDIO SELECTOR ON THE CABIN ANNOUNCEMENT. THE TWR IMMEDIATELY TOLD THE OTHER PLANE TO MISS APCH NOT KNOWING MY INTENTIONS. I RE-ESTABLISHED COMS AND STRAIGHTENED EVERYTHING OUT. I WAS UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE FROM THE COMPANY TO BE ON TIME FOR THE MEETING IN LONGVIEW. MY SUGGESTION TO LEAVE THE NIGHT BEFORE WAS NOT RESPECTED AND I HAD TO GET UP (AT XY00 AM). THIS IS UNUSUAL AND PUT AN ADDITIONAL FATIGUE BURDEN ON ME AFFECTING MY JUDGEMENT AND PERCEPTIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE SUPPORT AND AUTH GIVEN BY THE FAA TO CORPORATE PLT'S IN DEALING WITH THE CORPORATE MGMNT. IF A PLT SAYS NO TO HIS BOSS ON SAFETY ISSUE; IT SHOULD BE RESPECTED; WITHOUT HIS JOB BEING THREATENED! THE PLT IS ALWAYS IN THE MIDDLE AND SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU FEEL A SIT ISN'T GOOD. I BELIEVE A PLT NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THAT INNER GUT FEELING; BUT HOW DO YOU GET THE BOSS TO UNDERSTAND THAT!
