Q200 loses wheel at Newquay
Air South West operates (5) Dash-8 300 series. None of them are Q (noise cancelling) types.
The wheel left the aircraft (probably) due to a bearing failure and severe damage caused by that. The remains showed no sign of having corroded.
At present Flybe are not using Dash-8 Q400s on a regular basis from Newquay/ St Mawgan. In fact I've yet to see one there.
The brake unit did remain, but, I understand, the aircraft was brought to a halt without brakes, by propellor discing.
Just trying to clear up one or two inaccuracies!
