Narrative:

Flight X from boston, ma, to rockland, me, proceeded normally operating under an IFR flight plan. Upon gaining visibility contact with knox county airport, brunswick approach cleared flight X for a visibility approach into knox county. At this time the PIC cancelled IFR, squawked VFR and descended to traffic pattern altitude. A standard left had traffic pattern was made for runway 31 in knox county. When the gear was selected down, no gear down indication was received. A go around was made at rockland (knox county airport) to verify gear was not down. At this time company dispatch was notified and flight X was directed to divert to portland and declare an emergency. Brunswick approach gave flight X initial vectors and an altitude and then turned flight X over to portland approach. Portland approach was notified of the gear malfunction and the PIC declared an emergency at xx local time. A manual gear extension was made per the aircraft emergency gear extension checklist. After manual gear extension was performed, a low pass was made and portland tower verified gear was down. A landing was made on runway 29 and taxied clear of runway 29. The passengers were safely shuttled away from the aircraft and the PIC proceeded to write the discrepancy in the aircraft logbook.
