The aircraft entered a hold at 6000 feet to troubleshoot the problem and landed safely on Edinburgh's runway 24 with open gear doors about one hour after departure and stopped on the runway. The aircraft was towed off the runway about 40 minutes after landing.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Edinburgh about 6 hours after landing.
