A Flybe de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration G-PRPB performing flight BE-403 from Belfast City, NI to Birmingham, EN (UK), was on approach to Birmingham's runway 15 when the crew went around reporting problems with the flaps. The aircraft entered a hold while the crew was working the checklists. The crew finally prepared the aircraft for a flaps up landing and landed safely on Birmingham's runway 33 at a higher than normal speed (about 170 knots over ground) about 30 minutes after aborting the first approach.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Birmingham about 9 hours after landing.
The airline confirmed the captain took the recommended precautionary actions following a suspected minor technical problem. All passengers disembarked normally.
