The prosthetic arm pilot of an airplane of the British Flybe came off in flight, said the Irish press. The incident which took place on February 12 has been revealed that last week in a report by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).


The report explains that the prosthesis fell shortly before landing the plane that connected Birmingham (England) in Belfast (Northern Ireland). The pilot decided to keep control of the aircraft due to poor weather conditions.
