FlyBe 'emergency landing' at BHD
From BBC News:
Aeroplane makes emergency landing Tuesday, 30 August 2005, 10:27 GMT 11:27 UK The plane was forced to land at Belfast City Airport A plane carrying 71 passengers has made an emergency landing at Belfast City Airport. The Flybe flight took off from the airport on its way to Liverpool but developed technical problems about 15 minutes into the journey. A full emergency plan was put into place as a precautionary measure as the plane returned to the airport. It landed safely at about 0925 BST and the passengers have been transferred to another flight. *j* |

I heard someone mention a crew reported seeing a tortoise crawling about the airport grounds yesterday. Any truth on it, if so where on earth did it come from?
:sad: |
Anything serious, or just lazy journos dramatising? Looks like a factual report to me, nothing sensational, point ends. Where's the "dramatising" and "lazy" bits? Don't let facts get in the way of a good chance to insult someone, eh? :* |
Well, emergency landing does sound a bit heavy. Precautionary is maybe a better word. But journalists probably like the word 'emergency'.

It was a bird strike - on a BMI flight coming into BHD. The pilot reported seeing a tortoise on the runway as he came in to land. He did not indicate whether the tortoise made it. The bird did not.
|
Must have been another case of "Dirt in the Toolbox" causing a precautionary landing & witnessed by a Aerosexual (sorry I meant to say Spotter) Journo along the Airport Fence looking for something to fill his news report with!
|
Perhaps the journalist is thinking of his readers / viewers, who probably have never heard of a precautionary landing, and might be confused by the term.

You also have to remember that for the emergency services, any aircraft which has reported a 'problem' is either a 'local' or 'full' emergency, which actually refers to size of aircraft rather than the problem itself.
|
Sounds like another DHC8 - Q400......
They seem to be having a lot of problems with those aircraft at the moment. Does anyone know anything else? |

Flying Despatcher - Not necessarily the fault of the aircraft, there are other factors which have contributed to the recent problems.
|
I believe that it was an engine failure on a Q400.
|
Well done to capt dave the bish.......done well my son!!!
|
....And there I was expecting to read of a landing on the cliff top at Berry Head!
|
flybe.com, care to ellaborate?
Was hearing that the Q400 was having a lot of trouble with the engines. |
A two engine A/C with one shut down is always gonna be at least a " Full Emergency" response at least.
As for the Tortoise on A2 Rwy intersection. It turned out to be a fully grown and very healthy Terrapin which is doing fine up on the North coast. |
Definite Eng Failure on Dash 8-400. Trauma team in BHD to counsel Pax after loud bang and following Eng Failure.
146 took LPL pax onwards to John Lennon International. |
146 saves the day again! How many times is that now? Must be in the tens of thousands.... ;)
That Q400 sure is a hangar queen. Had a few engine failures over the years. With the two I had in the 146, nobody knew about until I told them. Much less trauma involved that way... :ok: |
lazy journos dramatising? emergency landing does sound a bit heavy Factual report, nothing more. |
