    Incident: Flybe DH8D at Southampton on Jun 5th 2015, bee speed

    By Simon Hradecky, created Saturday, Jun 6th 2015 15:10Z, last updated Saturday, Jun 6th 2015 15:14Z
    A Flybe de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration G-ECOE performing flight BE-384 from Southampton,EN (UK) to Dublin (Ireland), was climbing out of Southampton when the crew stopped the climb at 6000 feet reporting unreliable airspeeds. The aircraft returned to Southampton for a safe landing about 20 minutes after departure.

    Maintenance found a bee had chosen to fly FlyBe within a pitot tube. The bee, nick-named FlyBee, was convinced to leave and the aircraft was able to depart again reaching Dublin with a delay of 90 minutes.

    The airline reported the aircraft returned to Southampton due to a suspected technical issue. Upon examination maintenance found a bee lodged into an item of instrumentation on the outside of the aircraft.
