It seems like I read it was a failure of some/all gear to fully retract.As far as I understand it, they said they had some unspecified problem, dumped for ten minutes, and returned. I'd be curious to hear what the problem was, as, judging by the speed, I suspect they dumped to max landing weight and went right in.

They “fixed the glitch”I think they fixed it.
Different 747 for reference:
Aircraft is LX-OCV, has always been with Cargolux, and is 23.9 years old.
My understanding is 744 structural D-checks occur on an 8/8/6 schedule (8 years, 16 years, 22 years?). I have no specific information about the maintenance history of this specific aircraft.
I think the transmission failed to synchronize the cardinal-grammeters.
