A Flybe de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration G-FLBA performing flight BE-409 from Belfast City,NI to Birmingham,EN (UK), was accelerating for takeoff when after a few seconds the crew rejected takeoff at low speed. The aircraft slowed safely and taxied back to the gate.

A passenger reported the captain announced a warning light had illuminated. While the aircraft was taxiing back to the gate the passenger observed smoke from the left hand main gear and believed some fluid was leaking. After the aircraft had arrived at the gate, maintenance personnel were focussing their attention of the left main wheel axles and investigating what appeared to be fluid.

A replacement Dash 8-400 registration G-JEDV reached Birmingham with a delay of 2:45 hours.

The incident aircraft resumed service on Feb 13th.
