About a minute later the crew initiated the return to Lisbon. The crew made an announcement about a sensor problem. The passenger believed that the landing gear extended uncommandedly when the loud bang occurred. Later on the aircraft positioned for a low approach to Lisbon to have the landing gear inspected from the ground, landed safely and taxied to a hangar, where they disembarked. The passenger stated, there was more to this occurrence than just a sensor problem, after landing he observed a good number of mechanics surrounding the right main gear.
