    What: Air Europa Boeing 737-800 en route from Madrid,SP to Lanzarote,CI
    Where: Lanzarote
    When: Jun 16th 2011
    Why: On approach to Lanzarote, the plane developed flap problems. The crew responded by entering a holding pattern, and shortly afterward landed with flaps up. Touchdown was lower and at a higher speed but a safe landing.

    What: Air Europa Boeing 737-800 en route from Lanzarote,CI to Bilbao,SP
    Where: Bilbao
    When: Jun 16th 2011
    Why: The same plane was on approach to Bilbao and suffered a reoccurrence of the flap problem.

    The pilots diverted to Madrid. Touchdown was lower and at a higher speed but a safe landing.

    In George’s Opinion
    One can not help but wonder what was going on behind the scenes here–if they had an attempted-but-failed flap repair in maintenance, or if someone had a boneheaded thought process of flying a disabled plane.

    We do not have a record here that this was a ferry flight, so whether or not there were commercial passengers aboard, someone else will have to enlighten us.

    Hopefully the flaps problem will be repaired rather than continuing to subject the crew to a less-than-airworthy plane. Good on you to the flight crew of EC-III

    What: Air France Boeing 777-200 en route from Paris to Sao Paulo
    Where: Portugal
    When: Nov 25th 2009
    Who: 252 passengers including nine players and the coaches of the Brazilian Volleyball National Team travelling home after winning the Men’s World League Championship
    Why: Two hours into the flight while west of Lisbon, the plane developed navigational problems. The crew decided to return to Paris which they did; and they made a safe landing.

    George’s Point of View

    Things happen. It’s good to see that even with a navigation problem, they were able to make it back to the airport safely.
