Narrative:
Upon approach to landing at rdu; we had trouble getting a gear down and lock indication (green light). We broke off the visual approach and stayed in the traffic pattern. After a couple of recycles and gear failure checklist; we ran the gear not locked landing checklist. Upon final approach the gear circuit breaker was pushed back in and the gear locked down with green identify. Tower was not notified of positive identify during landing due to high workload. Landing was made with positive down green identify.
