Narrative:
We had an unsafe nose gear indication during our approach into clt. We performed our emergency procedures as outlined in our company manuals. We declared an emergency with ATC as we could not positively determine that the nose gear was safety locked. We declared an emergency with ATC and landed safely at clt on runway 18R. It was determined that the problem was in the indicating system.
