DURING THE APCH, THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO GET A SAFE DOWN INDICATION FOR THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR. HE CHANGED THE LIGHT BULB & STILL DID NOT GET A SAFE INDICATION. A TOWER FLYBY WAS MADE, BUT THE TOWER OPERATOR WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM IF THE RIGHT GEAR WAS LOCKED. TO TEST THE GEAR, THE PLT MADE A LANDING APPROACH TO THE RWY & ALLOWED THE ACFT TO TOUCHDOWN MOMENTARILY. HE RECALLED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE SETTLED LOWER THAN THE LEFT SIDE, SO HE BURNED OFF EXCESS FUEL, AND DECIDED TO LAND WITH THE OTHER TWO GEAR DOWN & LOCKED.
