A Modern Logistics Boeing 737-400, registration PP-YBA performing freight flight WD-5800 from Sao Paulo Viracopos,SP to Manaus,AM (Brazil), was climbing out of Viracopos' runway 33 when the crew stopped the climb at 7000 feet due to a gear indication. The crew decided to return to Viracopos and performed a low approach to have the gear inspected from the ground. The overflight did not confirm all gear was indeed down, additional observers were dispatched to the runway and confirmed in a second low approach, that all gear was down and appeared to be in position. The aircraft subsequently landed safely on runway 33 about 90 minutes after departure.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Viracopos about 20 hours after landing.
