Aircraft Equipment Problem Critical
Flight Crew Executed Go Around / Missed Approach; Flight Crew Landed in Emergency Condition; General Declared Emergency; General Maintenance Action
Aircraft
While executing a visual approach; we selected 'gear down' and received a 'gear disagree' red CAS/master warning. We immediately recycled the landing gear with the same result. We then executed a missed approach/go around; advised ATC of our situation and the need for vectors to run appropriate checklists. We accomplished the QRH for 'gear disagree' and manually extended the gear. With a gear down and locked indication; we called Maintenance and informed them of our condition. Next; we declared an emergency with ATC and to have emergency equipment standing by; because the QRH read that nose wheel steering may be inoperative after touchdown. We then notified the Flight Attendant of our situation and that; the gear was down and locked; but due to the possibility of no steering after touchdown; we would be executing a brace for landing. Due to the amount of time that all of this took; we had now burned into our reserve fuel; in light of the additional low fuel situation; we put our attention to getting the aircraft on the ground expeditiously. Due to our need set up and quickly brief a different approach; we never had an opportunity to inform the passengers of our situation/plan. We executed the brace at approximately a three mile final. The touchdown and roll out were uneventful. The emergency equipment was dismissed and the passengers were then briefed. Taxi in to the gate was also uneventful.
CRJ200 Captain reports a gear disagree CAS during approach when the gear handle is placed down. A go around is initiated and the gear is extended manually using QRH procedures. An uneventful landing ensues.
