Narrative:

Upon gear down selection, no left main gear green lights were observed. Due to gear cycle time being approximately 30 seconds, there was no time to cycle gear. A go around was initiated at 800 ft to give us time to complete QRH procedure. Procedure completed, we made normal landing. No emergency was declared, and equipment was not requested, but showed up anyway. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states that other indications (warning horn, fault panel) showed all gear down and locked. He also indicated that landing gear problems are common on the FK10.
