Narrative:
When landing gear was extended the nose gear did not show a green light. A go-around was made and aircraft was vectored away from the airport while crew accomplished checklists related to gear failure to extend. An emergency gear extension was performed; and nose gear still did not show green. Other indications that the nose gear was not down and locked were present; including a report by the control tower that the nose gear appeared to be down but not locked. [We advised ATC]; and aircraft was landed successfully. After landing the gear was pinned; and aircraft was towed to the FBO.
