A Martinair McDonnell Douglas MD-11 freighter, registration PH-MCP performing flight MP-53 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Miami,FL (USA), was climbing to FL130 out of Amsterdam when the crew reported a gear indication, entered a holding over the North Sea to work the relevant checklists before deciding to dump fuel and return to Amsterdam. The aircraft landed safely on Amsterdam's runway 27 about 70 minutes after departure.
An observer on the ground reported the aircraft was climbing out with the left main gear still extended while the other gear struts were already retracted.
