Narrative:
Extended gear on approach to yip, unable to get three green lights, made three passes over runway to get visual confirmation, on third pass left main gear extended. We had three green lights, ground observer in light transport and firemen confirmed thru tower all gear appeared to be down, landed without incident. I chose to continue the flight to my destination, I considered this to be a safe course of action.
