Narrative:

On approach to landing at ict the left main gear failed to indicate a down a D locked indication after 3 landing gear cycles. The landing gear was then extended manually and there was still no indication that the left main gear was down and locked for approximately 2 mins. After the emergency equipment was dispatched for our arrival, the left main gear did indicate down and locked. An emergency was never declared and the landing was normal. After speaking to our maintenance department we learned that the aircraft had had the same indication problem the day before.
