Emergency landing at EIDW?

[ACARS]

Local radio reported an emergency landing at Dublin this morning. They reported place had landed safely. Anyone know any further details?

An Aer Arann plane has made an emergency landing at Dublin Airport after experiencing engine problems this morning.
The 48-seat plane was being brought back to Ireland following maintenance work in Denmark when the pilot was forced to shut down one engine.

Four crew members were on board, but all were unhurt when the aircraft touched down safely in Dublin at around 10.45am.

The fire services at the airport had been scrambled as a precaution.

Departed Sonderborg, DK earlier this morning.

Believe it was an engine fire

I can assure you 100% that the reason for the shut down was not an engine fire. The engine was shut down voluntarily by the crew as to leave it running was going to provide control difficulties for the landing!

Can you expand because that doesnt make any sense

Are you sure this was not a Flybe and landing into BHD as I heard on radio this morning whilst on way to DUB?

I may be wrong - was busy flying at time, lol.

Sounds like it could have been a frozen power lever, stuck at cruise power.
Had it some years ago on a J31, only way out was to shut the engine down (or wait for 15mins at low altitude and hope it defrosts).
In any event im sure the crew did a good job :ok:

Don't know about the Dub incident ...but as far as Bhd is concerned you weren't hearing things ....
