Pan bmi baby - Cardiff 25.07.04
Last Sunday (25th July) I was flying my solo cross country qualifier and when I was holding to take off from Cardiff, a bmi baby 737 on approach reported a technical difficulty and said they were going around. I then departed and the bmi baby 737 put out a pan and reported problems with the leading edge flap. They then said that should they have to go-around again, then they would declare an emergency.
Unfortunately pan bmi baby changed to tower frequency and I didn't hear what happened in the end! I'm guessing all was fine as I didn't hear anything on the news.
Does anyone know anything else and did the aircraft land successfully?
Cheers,
G-ANDY

You were a brave individual - I flew out of EGFF on Sunday, and it was IFR all the way - badly yucky!
Didn't hear anything about the baby, but I guess he landed OK - no sign of him still being in the CDF hold, and no large holes about...
Hope the CC went well!

Pleased to hear that there were no craters at Cardiff when you turned up TwinAisle!!
I managed to escape Cardiff before the weather turned, and I had to punch through a small line of showers before I made it to Wolverhampton.
Had a great day flying and can't wait until the weekend to go again!!
