Title: BA226 Diverted Feb 24th to JFK
Post by: englishpilot on February 28, 2012, 03:09:51 PM

I was on the BA 226 flight from ATL-LHR.  It was diverted to JFK for mx reasons - any ATC?

I had a listen to it a few days ago and aside from "we need water" there was nothing else really remarkable about it if I recall correctly. Unless someone beats me to it, I can post it tonight.

I actually caught this on the Radar, saw you turn around. No squawk 7700 or rapid descent so just assumed was maybe medical. Listened to the JFK ATC and heard nothing to biggy. I wouldn't have minded, 2 Take-off's and Landings in 1 Flight!

According to the captain, the water tank was not sealed and therefore it could not be pressurized.  Costly mistake by ground crew
