Cape Air said Flight 1833 turned around on its way to Bar Harbor, Maine, after the pilot was told about an anomaly with the landing gear.

"The pilot performed the appropriate checklist and landed the aircraft back at Boston Logan Airport. There are no reported injuries," a Cape Air representative said.
