A Delta Airlines Boeing 717-200, registration N924AT performing flight
DL-2548 from Atlanta,GA to Knoxville,TN (USA) with 119 people on board, was on approach to Knoxville's runway 23L when the crew initiated a go around due to an unsafe nose gear indication. The crew worked the related checklists and performed an alternate (manual) gear extension, which left all gear doors open. The aircraft subsequently landed on Knoxville's runway 23L about 25 minutes later. A post flight runway inspection found debris from the main gear doors on the runway.
The FAA reported: "AIRCRAFT NOSE GEAR FAILING TO EXTEND AND MANUALLY LOWERED WHICH CAUSED THE MAIN LANDING GEAR DOORS TO REMAIN DOWN AND DEBRIS FROM THE MAIN GEAR DOORS WAS FOUND ON THE RUNWAY, KNOXVILLE, TN."
A replacement A319-100 registration N322NB performed the return flight with a delay of 3:20 hours.
