From the BBC» : Pilot's artificial arm 'became detached while landing plane'
A pilot lost control of a passenger plane after his artificial arm became detached as he was coming in to land, an accident report has said.
The Flybe flight from Birmingham, with 47 passengers on board, was approaching Belfast City Airport in gusty conditions on 12 February.
It landed heavily but no-one was hurt and the plane was not damaged.
The pilot said he would be more cautious in future about checking his attachment, according to the report.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

I expect he'd've been in trouble if the plane was damaged.
On the other hand, there was no harm done.  |

I do not work for FGW▸ and posts should not be assumed and do not imply they are statements, unless explicitly stated that they are, from any TOC▸ including First Great Western.

No: they'd probably have given him the elbow.  |

Certainly not worth flying off the handle over the matter.  |

I assume when he told Air Traffic Control he was having a problem they just told him to get a grip.

Apparently, they told him to stop flapping about and pull himself together.  |

He made a reasonable fist of the landing, given the circumstances. Thumbs up, I say!
