With these damn computerised systems, some glitches can be easily reset by recycling the offending article. Intersting that they did that at 37,000'. I would of thought the drag penalty would have been massive at that altitude requiring shed loads of power to come on to counteract - if indeed it could maintain that level. It would have been increadily noisy, but better the crew told everyone they were going to do this rather than just drop the gear!

BRS is a horrendous runway, even more so at the moment. Worse if you land on the easterly as there is a hump on the runway that juts up to meet you just as you are in the flare, resulting in a quicker closure rate to the ground = thump!
