The airline told Austrianwings that the left hand main gear was not indicated locked into position, the crew aborted the approach and actioned the relevant procedures including using the alternate gear extension. The crew subsequently performed an overflight to have the gear checked from the ground and landed safely. In most of these cases it is a faulty indication, in this case it was probably a dirty sensor.
