Narrative:

On descent, captain informed crew they were not sure if we had r-hand side landing gear. Evacuate/evacuation possible. We performed our emergency checklist, briefing and reseating passenger. Cockpit crew manually got landing gear down. We were unsure if it was locked in place. Landed without incident.
