A Cargolux Boeing 747-400, registration LX-OCV performing flight CV-6374 from Atlanta,GA (USA) to Luxembourg (Luxembourg) with 2 crew, was climbing out of Atlanta's runway 28 when the crew stopped the climb at about FL220 reporting a main deck fire indication and decided to return to Atlanta. The aircraft landed on Atlanta's runway 26L about 40 minutes after departure. After landing the aircraft vacated the runway and stopped on the parallel taxiway, the crew advised no evacuation was necessary, they wanted emergency services to check the brakes due to overweight landing and would shut all engines down for emergency services to access the brakes. Emergency services reported no fire seen, about 30 minutes after touchdown the crew restarted the engines and taxied to the apron.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Atlanta about 7 hours after landing.
