The first fine night in Donegal for three months and he's gloating.
Looking at the radar it'll be raining there within the hour or two.

It's a bit nippy here on the best coast but other than that fine.

Thunder and lightning in cork!

Those planes are fcuking terrifying.

I thought it was really far away, but it wasn't. It was just very small

And they make you sit all spread out to balance the plane. Well that's what I was told but I'm very naive and afraid of flying :pac:

Wow. I didn't know that data was publicly available. Very interesting to watch the current location and previous flight paths!

sawdoubters

RYR719V just gone around

B.A._Baracus

That RYR719V flight (Brussels to Dublin) is having a game of loop the loop around Dublin Airport right now :pac:

TeddyTedson

It's just generally cross winds that cause the problems is it during landing?
I know it's everything that actually plays a factor but I've flown no bother during some bad storms. Well I just sat there, the pilots were the ones flying.

B.A._Baracus

RYR719V is making another approach

Stavros Murphy

Flight Sh1771NG-1T is apparently having a hard time landing too.

The Backwards Man

Great value for money. Dublin Bay is a bit dull anyway.

It's a bit hairy out there all right. EIN62N (EI627 from Copenhagen) just went around, citing "significant wind change in last 500 feet".

EIN357 (EI357 from Munich) went around once already, started approaching again, was told to head north and is going to try runway 16 instead of the longer runway 10. All in a day's work. (The wind's coming from around 140 degrees).

i'm having a ball watching these.

this guy

http://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/fr227%20/

looks like he can't even land in belfast and is going to scotland! god what a nightmare if you're just trying to get home to Dublin!!

clickhere

He seems to have turned around,and heading some where else.

Dr.MickKiller

Looks like he's landed at "Glasgow" Prestwick?

Looks like Prestwick.

Another go-around (EI699 from Düsseldorf), this time due to wind shear warning on final. Eek.

yeah D-dorf has tried to land a few times now, the passengers must be terrified! I wonder if the pilot just doesn't have the confidence to give it a bash when he gets close to the runway? Imagine the acceleration pulling back up!

They're my favorite kind of pilot. The ones who go "Feck it, I'll give it a lash lads!" worry me.

I've been on planes where they have pulled out of landing and the acceleration is unreal.

You have to raise both arms and shout "Wheeee!" for the full effect.

Stheno

How long is the crappy weather lasting? I'm flying to Dublin Saturday morning

another go around just now

Aphex

Strong winds in Finglas at the minute.

Planes should be able to bat the wind away using technology in this day and age surely?!

Eh those two planes look very close together!!!

yes.... technology has been able to predict sudden wind direction and speed changes for a long time now

Wind shear is also a major factor. The aircraft has the ability to detect wind shear and abort the landing but the pilot flying can also abort.

There was a number of crashes back in the day due to wind shear but now the phenomenon is well understood and all modern airlines are equipped with detection capabilities.

You're thinking of Starship Airplane
