We were doing the final approach into Erie when suddenly the plane circle off and flew out over the lake.
At least myself and a passenger in front of me noticed and he asked the attendant what was up and she smiled and said " the pilot hasn't said there's a problem. "
About two minutes later the capitan comes on and says " Sorry about circling out folks, one of our flaps has failed. It's stuck at 20% instead of the 45% it should be, but that's no big deal and we'll have you down in a few minutes. You'll notice fire trucks on your left, but that is standard procedure. "
I'm like " Holy shit! "
But we landed okay. I think those were his exact words. " one of our flaps has failed. "
Not what you want to hear.
