Steve Fossett landed in his destination ahead of scheduled time because

The American adventurer Steve Fossett has successfully completed the longest ever non-stop flight in an aircraft. He took off from Cape Canaveral in Florida three days ago and has covered more than 40 thousand kilometers. He landed in southern England, ending his fight slightly earlier than expected due to technical problems. At a news conference, he described the drama at the end of his flight. "The generator light came on, and as pilots we know, that’s really serious that if you don’t have a generator, and all you have available for electrical powers in your battery don’t last for about 25 minutes."
