Flight cancelled in Austria due to a single bee
A flight in Austria was canceled due to an unexpected and strange incident. Zamin.uz reported this.
An Austrian Airlines aircraft departing from Innsbruck Airport for Vienna was unable to take off because of a single bee. According to the details of the incident, the situation occurred while the liner was moving along the runway for takeoff and had reached a speed of 150 kilometers per hour.
The pilots noticed that the sensors measuring the aircraft's speed were returning conflicting readings. Since this posed a serious risk to flight safety, the pilots decided to abort the flight immediately.
At the time, there were 107 passengers on board. As part of security measures, all passengers were calmly disembarked and evacuated from the plane.
It was reported that no harm was caused to the life or health of the passengers. Subsequently, inspections carried out by technical specialists revealed the actual cause of the malfunction.
It turned out that a small bee had entered a special device that measures airflow. This specific device performs the primary function of determining the aircraft's flight speed.
Because the bee disrupted the operation of the device, the sensors began transmitting incorrect data. Had the pilots not noticed this error in time, serious problems could have arisen during the flight.
The technical malfunction has now been rectified and the aircraft has been re-inspected.
