Headline News is reporting that gear is down and locked. Problem is with a nose gear door. Aircraft is circling to burn fuel now and is expected to land shortly. A commercial pilot providing commentary is indicating that this should be an entirely normal landing, again reiterating that although certain emergency protocol needs to be followed, this should not be a significant problem.
