    What: US Airways en route from Philadelphia to Burlington International
    Where: Burlington International
    When: Jan 25, 2011
    Who: 82 passengers
    Why: Before landing, the plane initiated a flap warning light, indicating a problem with the flaps, which help slow the plane.

    Emergency crews were on standby during the landing which was expected to be fast, due to the flap problem.
