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.

On landing at Burlington, the fast landing stressed the brakes and heated them up. A right brake indicated it was running hot; but there were no injuries. This was the 2nd of two “phase 5” (high level) emergency landings. Both had safe outcomes.
