Aircraft emergency in ABZ

[groundhogbhx]

Getting reports that an aircraft has gone off in ABZ, apparently bmi according to the info so far!

Any further info??

I'm in Dyce and just had a look - no blue lights and aircraft traffic is normal.

Seemed strange to us too. Got a halt call on the ABZ due to a runway incident. 15 mins later everything back to normal and off they went. I take it there were crossed wires somewhere

We have got serious haggis problems at the mo...hopefully they'll be cleared overnight.

Bucking and bouncing

All thats missing is the nursery and baby milk factory.

What was the weather at ABZ? If it was windy that would probably account for the "bucking and bouncing". Otherwise sounds like a job well done to me.

At least he complemented the crew handling and didn't mention compensation.

The worst part of it was I believe that they lost all flight-deck instrumentation.

Voice recorder playback..

Are they under your seat? Nope. They must be around here somewhere. I remember we had instruments when we took off.
