BD016 Sat 22 Feb?
 

Hi All,

Was due to fly from Heathrow to Glasgow yesterday morning on BD016 at 0735. Aircraft was Fokker 100, pax board, after 15 mins told by Captain that there is small problem with one of the Flightdeck instruments, new one is en-route to aircraft and should arrive within ten minutes.

15 mins later, Captain announces that problem is worse than expected and the aircraft is unservicable, all pax disembark and are transferred onto BD02 leaving at 0845. A320-200 with no problems.

Just out of interest, does anybody at BMI know what the "problem" was?

Thanks

;)

Problem was with the standby altimeter..the spare wasn't compatible unfortunately..came good at approx 1130ish....
Hope that answers it!

Thanks Little Blue!

It was just curiosity really, cancellation was perfectly understandable as safety comes first.

All the best
