Niteflite
Leading edge slats stuck, max flaps 15 and no antiskid plus possible other unknowns.
Rejected LPL due short runway and then rejected 24L after initially accepting an ILS to 24R with a visual break for the left. The reject was when he was finally given a VOR/DME for the left. It sounded as if he might have accepted the original offer.
Airport was apparantly considering refusing his diversion until he declared a PAN - then of course no contest.
Cleared on AE and stopped due numerous spurious alarms, but unfortunately had fire service behind him blocking the main, so 4 aircraft landed on the Left.
Aircaft towed to stand with passengers on board for a normal disembarkment - but at wrong airport!
All in all - as one would expect - a copybook handling of a situation that can occur at any time. No panic and people getting paid to do their jobs.
If anyone has any problems with the details in this posting then I will rapidly delete it! Don't want nasty journalist getting the wrong story do we?
