MAS122 return to Sydney today

[Steve Crook]

This flight appears to have departed for KL, done a circuit off the coast and returned to Sydney - actually it appears to have done a go around in the process of returning as it passed my house twice on short finals to 16R. Any info on the circumstances?

[Andrew Coggan]

Not sure why it intially returned Steve but the go around was due to ATC noticing an issue with landing gear.

THanks Andrew. The aircraft in question was 9M-MRA

Looking at a fellow photographer's pictures it looked like the front right nose gear door had failed.
