Narrative: UPDATE from Maintenance & Manufacturing: On approach into Prince George (CYXS), the gear of C-FACT, Air Canada Jazz Flight JZA8203, a Dehavilland DH8C, did not extend when selected. After approximately 10-12 minutes, the gear deployed normally, and the pilot completed a normal landing at Prince George. The aircraft was ferried gear down to the maintenance base. The landing gear selector valve was replaced. Gear swings, leak, and function checks were completed. The aircraft was returned to service. (Added Aircraft Registration)
