| Executive Summary: | During the initial climb out of Stansted bound for Copenhagen, at about 5,000 feet at a speed of 320 kt the wheel well fire warning activated. The Non-Normal Checklist was actioned, a MAYDAY declared and a return to Stansted initiated. The fire warning stopped one minute after landing gear extension. The cabin attendants and some passengers reported a burning smell. After landing, the engine and APU fire extinguishers were used and the commander elected to evacuate the passengers via the cabin doors and slides only, not using the over-wing exits due to the risk of tyre burst and attendant potential for injury. The passengers gathered 200 metres from the aircraft and were taken to the lounge by buses. |
