Narrative:
Flight X from rko-bos proceeded normally. After calling runway 33R in boston in sight, approach control turned flight X over to boston tower. Boston tower cleared flight X to land on runway 33R. As the PIC selected gear down, no gear down indication was made. Flight X did a go around and climbed to 3000' as instructed by boston tower and proceeded north of boston to determine the nature of the problem. It was found the gear relay circuit breaker popped and after resetting the circuit breaker once, per the emergency checklist, the gear cycled normally. A positive gear down indication was made. Boston tower queried if any assistance was needed, and PIC advised everything was normal. After landing, the PIC discussed the gear circuit breaker popping with a company mechanic in boston. The mechanic notified maintenance control and was advised to perform a visibility inspection on the gear system. A visibility inspection was made and the aircraft was signed off and released for further flts.

Title: FLT CREW OF SMT MADE GO AROUND WITH GEAR UNSAFE LIGHT, RESET CIRCUIT BREAKER, GEAR LIGHTS THEN NORMAL. UNEVENTFUL LNDG.
Narrative: FLT X FROM RKO-BOS PROCEEDED NORMALLY. AFTER CALLING RWY 33R IN BOSTON IN SIGHT, APCH CTL TURNED FLT X OVER TO BOSTON TWR. BOSTON TWR CLRED FLT X TO LAND ON RWY 33R. AS THE PIC SELECTED GEAR DOWN, NO GEAR DOWN INDICATION WAS MADE. FLT X DID A GO AROUND AND CLBED TO 3000' AS INSTRUCTED BY BOSTON TWR AND PROCEEDED N OF BOSTON TO DETERMINE THE NATURE OF THE PROB. IT WAS FOUND THE GEAR RELAY CB POPPED AND AFTER RESETTING THE CB ONCE, PER THE EMER CHKLIST, THE GEAR CYCLED NORMALLY. A POSITIVE GEAR DOWN INDICATION WAS MADE. BOSTON TWR QUERIED IF ANY ASSISTANCE WAS NEEDED, AND PIC ADVISED EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. AFTER LNDG, THE PIC DISCUSSED THE GEAR CB POPPING WITH A COMPANY MECH IN BOSTON.
