Jetstar flight forced to land in Darwin after pilot identifies faulty instrument
A Jetstar flight heading from Melbourne to Singapore has turned around while above the Timor Sea and landed in Darwin, after the pilot noticed one of the flight instruments was faulty.
...
Some of the passengers were unhappy with the situation, and said they only realised something was wrong when the plane's flight path began to show the craft was returning to Australia.
...
"All I heard was something about ice impairing the reliability of something on the plane."
...
Another man said he had heard there was a problem with a sensor.
He said he was annoyed the plane had turned back partway through the journey.
"It is terrible. We are meant to be in Singapore right now, but we are stuck in Darwin," he said.
