A Jetblue Airbus A320-200, registration N552JB performing flight B6-634 from San Francisco,CA to Boston,MA (USA) with 133 people on board, was on final approach to Boston's runway 04R when the crew went around reporting a gear malfunction later explaining that they had a gear malfunction, they were able to extend and lock the gear, gear doors would be open and they had no nose wheel steering so they needed to stop on the runway, they preferred a wide runway like 15 but could accept 04R as well. The aircraft climbed to 5000 feet, positioned for another approach to runway 04R and landed safely about 20 minutes after going around. The aircraft stopped on the runway and was towed to the apron.
