AT THE END OF A BUSINESS FLT, THE PLT EXTENDED THE LANDING GEAR AND NOTED THAT THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR INDICATED THAT IT WAS NOT DOWN AND LOCKED. THE PLT ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY LANDING GEAR EXTENSION WHICH STILL INDICATED IT WAS NOT DOWN. WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH, THE PLT SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN IN HOPES THAT IF THE GEAR DID COLLAPSE HE MAY BE ABLE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, HOWEVER, WHEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF THE ACFT'S SINK RATE INCREASED.
