What happened

On 12 October 2018, a Boeing 737-4Q8, registration G-JMCR, was operating en-route to East Midlands Airport. The flight was subject to an investigation by the AAIB following an occurrence recorded under reference EW/C2018/10/03.

The investigation

During the review of the previously published AAIB Bulletin No 10/2018, a discrepancy was identified within the synopsis of the report. The original text incorrectly stated the number of safety recommendations resulting from the investigation.
