So the poor little bunny got sucked up into an engine? That sucks and blows. Quite literally actually - sucked up one way, blown out the other.

Reminds me of that wise saying by, er, a wise philosopher or philosophical equivalent. "Eagles may soar but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." This may be true for the majority of weasels but what happens if one is near a runway? :eek:

How is that possible?

Very easily around DUB especially this time of the year. There are lots of them bouncing around the ramp. I spoke with a member of the Airport Fire Service about it last year and pointed out how they seemed not all that worried about bounding out in front of taxiing aircraft or getting up close and personal with aircraft starting up... His opinion was that apart from being none to clever their hearing wasn't up to much especially if they had been exposed to aircraft noise ongoing for a time.... Maybe they should be supplied with ear defenders.... Then there was the gate gourmet van I could swear was chasing one down.... Big feckers too, that engine won't be too well...

fr336 · 31-07-2014 1:29am

Ear defenders

DUB is having its grass cut at the moment that could have something to do with it

Strumms · 31-07-2014 1:33am

It could indeed... I don't know the nocturnal habits of the hares but maybe they were disturbed... And distributed in the case of this one...

Oh it was probably a hare actually wasn't it - well, they were calling it a rabbit.

Defo a Hare. After all it is a ........Hareport......:D

Probably one of the worst jokes a captain has ever told me, he consistently said it. In 3 different airports and I laughed heartily each time as young F/Os do.

Now I say it to my F/Os, they don't laugh as much.... Feckers:eek:

Dublin airport has a very large resident population of hares especially over towards the farmland north of 28. They are more than used to the aircraft. This hare strike would have nothing to do with grass cutting, it's most likely just a normal movement.

Much more likely to be a specific piece of equipment being used to calibrate/test the new ground movement radar systems that have recently been installed at 2 locations around the airport.

I would hazard a guess that it is doing a certification flight for ETOPS.

Back to STN?

Yeah, descending now on approach.

fr336 · 31-07-2014 9:11pm

Disappeared from fr24, however this happens all the time with ATRs and the like due to poor radar strength on fr24.

jimbis · 31-07-2014 9:12pm

Was at 2000ft before I lost it.

Yeah it had no coverage from take off until about 2000 feet too.

fr336 · 31-07-2014 9:15pm

An EZY is making the approach to STN now, so the ATR is almost certainly down fine.

It was EI525 from CDG. Very late abort. Was on it. Cool listening to roar of engines to get altitude rapid. Felt like only one lap of hold.

I wonder where "CLB25" is off to, G-COBM, the calibrator, left Darlington in the UK, currently off the south coast of Ireland.

Checks airports equipment such as radars, ILS and the like doesn't it? Cork or Shannon? It's done DUB both in daytime and at night; SNN in daytime.

fr336 · 01-08-2014 12:01am

Oh it's not going to Ireland

Googled the flight number and it comes up as the airline being Baboo.. Who do indeed offer scheduled serviced from STN - DUS

Not quite Baboo anymore- Baboo was bought out by Darwin Airlines a few years ago who is the current operator. And to make it even more complicated, the flights are now marketed as Etihad Regional operated by Darwin!

Passed over Waterford City around 12. Some noise. Pity its cloudy as it would have been nice to get a view.

Now the Chicago flight is going via west of Scotland. All seem to be avoiding the midlands but I can't see anything on Met Eireann's radar, maybe some cells much further west?

http://www.met.ie/latest/rainfall_radar.asp

I heard that Antonov too, thought it was at about 2-3000 feet with the noise it made, surprised to see it was over 20000.
