A Skywest Canadair CRJ-200 on behalf of United, registration N915SW performing flight UA-5134 from Washington Dulles,DC to Morgantown,WV (USA) with 36 people on board, was climbing out of Washington's runway 30 when the crew stopped the climb at 5000 feet reporting a gear indication. After working the checklists the crew declared emergency advising ATC, although they had a good gear down indication, they wanted to do a low approach to verify the gear status from the ground. The crew performed a low approach to runway 01R, positioned for another approach to runway 01R and landed without further incident about 15 minutes after the low approach.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Washington about 9 hours after landing.
