Narrative:
After completing the check flight and during the visual approach; the landing gear handle was put in the down position but we had no indicator lights that the gear was locked down. So we executed a go-around and stayed in the pattern while doing the appropriate checklist. After the landing gear was blown down and declaring an emergency; we had a low brake pressure indicator so we continued to circle in the pattern while running the appropriate checklist for low brake pressure and the emergency equipment deployment. We then landed without incident.
