- Date: October 9, 1994
- Aircraft: Boeing 707
- Location: São Paulo-Guarulhos, São Paulo, Brazil
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Hydraulic pump failure and broken hydraulic line seals led to a loss of pressure and gear extension problems. A locking pin obstructed the manual nose gear extension and damaged the extension system.
A TAMPA cargo 707 lost hydraulic pressure on engine 3 after takeoff from Campinas and diverted to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos. The main gears could not be confirmed locked and the nose gear stayed stuck, so the aircraft landed on its belly and slid to a stop. All five occupants escaped uninjured.
