Narrative:

In sum: an light transport air carrier crew had a nose gear unsafe indication with the gear in the up position. The crew made a tower fly-by to confirm that the gear was up. They then lowered the gear and made another fly-by to confirm that the gear was now down and locked as the indicators showed. After briefing the passenger, consulting maintenance, and declaring an emergency, the crew landed without further incident. There were no injuries. The reporting captain states that his airline's cockpit resource management training saved the day.
