Narrative:

While on approach to jfk after dropping the gear for landing, we had an unsafe nose gear indication (red light). We executed missed approach and requested delaying vectors to troubleshoot and run appropriate checklists. Execute the 'unsafe landing gear indication checklist.' still had unsafe indication so we expected the 'emergency landing gear extension' checklist. Upon completion of that checklist, with same unsafe indication, we proceeded to the 'landing with nose gear unsafe checklist' and coordinate with operations to have a bus ready for passenger deplaning. We also advised tower that we would be stopping on the runway to shut down and deplane. I briefed passenger as to what the need for the go around was and what to expect once we landed, ie, emergency equipment's presence and the fact that we were going to bus them from the runway to the gate. All checklists were complete and we made an uneventful landing with no injuries. No incidents or injuries occurred with the deplaning of the passenger. Aircraft was towed back to gate with gear pin in the nose gear.

Narrative: WHILE ON APCH TO JFK AFTER DROPPING THE GEAR FOR LNDG, WE HAD AN UNSAFE NOSE GEAR INDICATION (RED LIGHT). WE EXECUTED MISSED APCH AND REQUESTED DELAYING VECTORS TO TROUBLESHOOT AND RUN APPROPRIATE CHKLISTS. EXECUTE THE 'UNSAFE LNDG GEAR INDICATION CHKLIST.' STILL HAD UNSAFE INDICATION SO WE EXPECTED THE 'EMER LNDG GEAR EXTENSION' CHKLIST. UPON COMPLETION OF THAT CHKLIST, WITH SAME UNSAFE INDICATION, WE PROCEEDED TO THE 'LNDG WITH NOSE GEAR UNSAFE CHKLIST' AND COORDINATE WITH OPS TO HAVE A BUS READY FOR PAX DEPLANING. WE ALSO ADVISED TWR THAT WE WOULD BE STOPPING ON THE RWY TO SHUT DOWN AND DEPLANE. I BRIEFED PAX AS TO WHAT THE NEED FOR THE GAR WAS AND WHAT TO EXPECT ONCE WE LANDED, IE, EMER EQUIP'S PRESENCE AND THE FACT THAT WE WERE GOING TO BUS THEM FROM THE RWY TO THE GATE. ALL CHKLISTS WERE COMPLETE AND WE MADE AN UNEVENTFUL LNDG WITH NO INJURIES. NO INCIDENTS OR INJURIES OCCURRED WITH THE DEPLANING OF THE PAX.
