looking for any information
 

Hi there

I am trying to find some information out for a friend who was on a Caledonian flight in December 1998 which made an emergency landing at Brest in France. From what he remembers the Flightcrew described the problem as hydraulic and it was a landing without flaps , reversers or spoilers. The wheelbrakes got hot but a successful emergency landing was performed. The aircraft was a 737 (not sure which model) and the flight was from the UK to Toulouse I believe. Sorry to be vague but my friend (we are both SLF) described it to me today (5 years after the event) and he was a little rusty on the details.

I have looked on the AAIB site and the NTSB site but can find no information relating to this incident.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

AAIB and NTSB have no jurisdiction in France. For accidents and incidents in France you have to checkBEA

Thanks Glueball.

I realise that is was more likely a 757 or a320 as apparently Caledonian have never flown 737 (though I stand to be corrected!)

Cheers
