| Executive Summary: | Following takeoff from Aberdeen, failure messages related to the Instrument Landing System (ILS) and Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) illuminated and shortly after this the cabin crew became aware of a strange smell in the forward cabin area. The flight crew were informed of the smell and they asked the cabin crew to monitor the situation. The strange smell then became evident on the flight deck and there was an increase in cabin temperature. Initially it was thought that the smell emanated from the galley ovens but, as it was early in the flight, these had not yet been switched on. The flight crew donned their oxygen masks, declared an emergency and then carried out an uneventful return to Aberdeen. After landing the smell had dissipated and, following a thorough inspection by the attending fire service, the aircraft was taxied onto the stand for a normal disembarkation of the passengers. |
