Taken from the RYR site
Ryanair flight FR8022 from London Stansted to Murcia suffered a fire indication warning after landing in Murcia airport which resulted in an emergency evacuation of all 59 passengers on board. One passenger suffered a minor foot injury during the evacuation and is presently receiving medical attention.
All other passengers on board have been met by Ryanair’s handling agents and given appropriate assistance.
A spare aircraft with engineers and crew will shortly depart from Glasgow Prestwick to Murcia. On arrival, they will carry out a full inspection to enable the aircraft to depart with an approximate 5 hour delay.
Ryanair sincerely apologises to all passengers for this delay and inconvenience, however safety must take priority at all times
Wonder what was wrong?

That makes sense. On check in we are told to start seating passengers in the middle of the aircraft and work out.

Row restrictions are for aircraft weight and balance considerations (not take off performance). With a full load, and a standard baggage loading plan, the weight will be evenly distributed and the aircraft will be in trim. With significantly less than a full load, rows at the front and back of the cabin are restricted to ensure that the passenger weight is concentrated more towards the centre of gravity of the aircraft.

Why do they block this front rows during summer operations? Is it because the engines produce slightly more thrust during (cold) winter operations – and hence gets better acceleration making them able to deal with the heavier aircraft?

59 on a 180 seater?? How many seats to RYR cram into a 738?
Those bucket and spade flights are normally fitted out with maximum seating at minimum pitch

sometimes all the seats are sold in the winter but main in the summer, we work on rule 1 which we block off rows 1 & 2 for take off and landing, and then for low pax loads i.e 59 rule 2 is in place which is block off first 6 rows and last 4 rows

Slightly off topic, but i remember an Inflight Attendant telling me that Ryanair doesnt sell all the seats on it’s aircraft,as i was coming back from Girona (barcelona) and we was told that we couldnt sit in the first 3 rows, until the Seat belt light had been switched off, now im not sure if this is just limited to Girona or Network wide
Quick edit, Britannia used to operate 757’s to Girona , so it cant be a shortish runway being factored into the weight and balance?

I think its 189 in the 737-800 but at least they dont cram enough people in there that the aircraft manufacturer have to add additional emergency doors.
59 does seem pretty low alright but its not high season just yet but it is friday and I would have thought a route like that would be full of weekend breakers.

Not the best load factor in the world. 😉 But I’m glad that it all ended well.
